  13 Description: A NSS (Name Service Switch) module for AFS
  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.

  25  Based on nss_pts by Todd M. Lewis.

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