nss-ldapd is a (glibc) NSS module for doing name lookups to an LDAP server. This module allows retrieval of information about Unix accounts, groups, hosts, and other information from an LDAP directory. It is a fork from the nss_ldap module to do some architectural changes. This implementation splits the functionality into an NSS part and a local daemon to do the lookups. This works around a number of problems in the original implementation.
