Description : NSS module for using local cache files as a naming service
Provides a Name Service Switch module that allows you to use
local cache files, such as those created by the nsscache utility,
to act as a name service. This means providing user account
information, groups, netgroups, and automounts in a file separate
to, say, /etc/passwd, that can be kept synchronised with a
directory server without interfering with local account
customisations.
Use of nsscache and libnss-cache eliminates the need for using a
cache daemon such as nscd with networked NSS modules such as
libnss-ldap.
