| 13 | Description: A NSS (Name Service Switch) module for AFS | |
| 9c2744ac | 14 | A Name Service Switch (NSS) plugin is a shared library used by glibc |
| 15 | to -- among other things -- translate between usernames and numeric | |
| 16 | userids and between group names and numeric groupids. | |
| 17 | . | |
| 18 | The libnss-afs library is an NSS plugin which answers these queries | |
| 19 | using the information stored in the AFS ptserver, avoiding the need to | |
| 20 | duplicate (and update) this information in /etc/passwd or LDAP. The | |
| 21 | library also synthesizes the name AfsPag-XXXX for the fake group ids | |
| 22 | that are used to represent AFS PAGs. | |

| 27 | You should use nscd to reduce network traffic caused by this | |
| 28 | module. |
