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

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