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. |
