Patrick:

Have you encountered a problem prompting the desire to
optimize this?

No, only trying to understand, I agree with

As I see it, the OS will cache the file so reopening it and
reading it
all the way through dozens of times really doesn't matter
at all.

By the way, you wouldn't use a prerule for this.

Why?

You would just change
the library to open and save the contents of the file on
loading the
library.

Im sorry, I dont understand. Which library are you refering to?

Returning to my need of loading a list of host names, just like passwords and usernames. Can I extend 
/nselib/unpwdb.lua to handle that?


Thank you

Carlos Pantelides
