nss_ndb

BerkeleyDB-based nsswitch backend for passwd & groups

This project consists of a NSS module (nss_ndb.so.1) and a CLI utility (makendb) that enables big passwd & group files to be handled efficiently via BTree BerkeleyDB databases. To activate and use this you must (after installation): 1. Manually add a symbolic link: /usr/lib/nss_ndb.so.1 -> /path/to/lib/nss_ndb.so.1.<version> 2. Populate the databases in /var/db/nss_ndb via "makendb" (or some other tool). 3. Activate it in /etc/nsswitch.conf: passwd: files ndb group: files ndb - Peter Eriksson pen@lysator.liu.se
