nss-ldapd 0.6.6 (Default branch)
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. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
This release contains some Debian packaging improvements, allows for spaces in user and group names to accommodate some specific environments, retries connecting to the LDAP server in more circumstances, and improves logging of option errors. Image

nss-systemd

NSS-SYSTEMD(8)							    nss-systemd 						    NSS-SYSTEMD(8)

NAME

       nss-systemd, libnss_systemd.so.2 - Provide UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and groups.

SYNOPSIS

       libnss_systemd.so.2

DESCRIPTION

       nss-systemd is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc), providing UNIX user and
       group name resolution for dynamic users and groups allocated through the DynamicUser= option in systemd unit files. See systemd.exec(5) for
       details on this option.

       This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs 0 and 65534) remain resolvable
       at all times, even if they aren't listed in /etc/passwd or /etc/group, or if these files are missing.

       To activate the NSS module, add "systemd" to the lines starting with "passwd:" and "group:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

       It is recommended to place "systemd" after the "files" or "compat" entry of the /etc/nsswitch.conf lines so that /etc/passwd and /etc/group
       based mappings take precedence.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables nss-systemd correctly:

	   passwd:	   compat mymachines systemd
	   group:	   compat mymachines systemd
	   shadow:	   compat

	   hosts:	   files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
	   networks:	   files

	   protocols:	   db files
	   services:	   db files
	   ethers:	   db files
	   rpc: 	   db files

	   netgroup:	   nis
