nsssd - a secure NSS-like implementation for small libcs -------------------------------------------------------- nsss is a library implementing a subset of pwd.h, group.h and shadow.h family of functions - the subset that can use a different backend than the standard /etc/passwd (et al.) files. It is intended to be used with certain libcs, such as musl, that do not implement the NSS protocol and so do not allow user/group credentials to be stored in other databases. Unlike NSS, nsss does not load dynamic modules and is fully compatible with static linking. The backend is chosen at boot time by running the appropriate daemon that will communicate with clients. See https://skarnet.org/software/nsss/ for details. * Installation ------------ See the INSTALL file. * Contact information ------------------- Laurent Bercot
