Description a b 2006-02-06 13:05:06 UTC 
the netdb.h is missing the prototype for ruserpass.
the current version in the glibc.CVS shows
Version 1.29, Sun Oct 24 09:04:34 2004 UTC
The function declaration is present.

a quick
grep ruserpass /usr/include/netdb.h
in my current 10.0 installation with shows nothing.

ruserpass() is not realy secure :) behaps this is removed intentional but i could not find any reference.

As documented in the glibc sources, this interface is declared as internal and should not be used.
