  Description     : asynchronously synchronise local NSS databases with remote directory services

Synchronises local NSS caches, such as those served by the
libnss-cache module, against remote directory services, such as
LDAP, or prebuild cache files from an HTTP server. This can be
used alongside the libnss-cache package to keep user account
information, groups, netgroups, and automounts up to date.

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.
