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