Source: libnss-afs Section: net Priority: extra Maintainer: Adam Megacz Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), libopenafs-dev, libc6-dev Standards-Version: 3.6.0 Package: libnss-afs Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Suggests: nscd Description: A NSS (Name Service Switch) module for AFS Based on libnss-ptdb by Frank Burkhardt . This module provides a NSS module that allows your AFS-Protection-Database (PTDB) to act as a name service. The only information the PTDB provides is a UID <-> username mapping. We have to "guess" all the other passwd-fields. . You should use nscd to reduce network traffic caused by this module.
