Description-en: 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 information.
