Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Description     : utility to maintain a local cache of network directory

The nss_updatedb utility maintains a local cache of network directory
user and group information. Used in conjunction with the pam_ccreds
module, it provides a mechanism for disconnected use of network
directories. These tools are designed to work with pam_ldap and
nss_ldap, also available from PADL.

Key Benefits:
 * Maintains local Berkeley DB cache of nameservice information
 * Supports any nameservice switch (NSS) module as a data source
 * Database format compatible with nss_db module
