Description

According to the getent man page, getent will return:

3 There is no support for enumeration on this database.

For ethers and netmasks, that's the case. For ipnodes, it returns 0.

A quick look at the code indicates that the ipnodes routine handles the error and prints the message itself, unlike the other cases which defer it to the main getent code.
