Package: libnss-mysql-bg (1.5-2)

NSS module for using MySQL as a naming service

libnss-mysql-bg provides a Name Service Switch module that allows MySQL to act as a name service.

Its configuration is very flexible by allowing to set an SQL query per NSS call (getpwnam, getpwuid, ...). You would use it instead of the other "libnss-mysql" package for building an NSS over an existing database (used for another purpose like groupware, ...).

It currently supports storage of passwd, group and shadow informations.
