| Summary : NSS library for MySQL
|
Description :
Store your UNIX user accounts in MySQL. \"libnss-mysql\" enables the following:
* System-wide authentication and name service using a MySQL database.
Applications do not need to be MySQL-aware or modified in any way.
* Storing authentication information in a database instead of text files.
* Creation of a single authentication database for multiple servers.
This is often referred to as the \"Single Sign-on\" problem.
* Writing data-modification routines (IE self-management web interface).
libnss-mysql is similar to NIS or LDAP. It provides the same centralized
authentication service through a database. What does this mean? Username,
uid, gid, password, etc comes from a MySQL database instead of
/etc/password, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group. A user configured in MySQL will
look and behave just like a user configured in /etc/passwd. Your
applications such as ls, finger, sendmail, qmail, exim, postfix, proftpd,
X, sshd, etc. will all \'see\' these users!
