| Provides a Name Service Switch (NSS) module that allows your LDAP |
| server to provide user account, group, host name, alias, netgroup, and |
| basically any other information that you would normally get from /etc |
| flat files or NIS. It also provides a Pluggable Authentication Module |
| (PAM) to do authentication to an LDAP server. |
| |
| This is implemented using thin NSS and PAM modules which delegate to a |
| dedicated service (nslcd) that queries the LDAP server with persistent |
| connections, authentication, attribute translation, etc. |
