nss-pam-ldapd

NSS module and daemon for using LDAP as a naming service

This package provides a Name Service Switch module that allows your LDAP server to provide user account, group, host name, alias, netgroup, and basically any other information that you would normally get from /etc flat files or NIS. Nss-ldapd is a fork of the nss_ldap package by PADL Software Pty Ltd.. implementing some structural design changes that were needed to fix some issues of the original design.
