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

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