Description-en: NSS module for using PostgreSQL as a naming service
This module works as a replacement for the flat file databases /etc/passwd,
/etc/group etc. It is a plugin to glibc's name service switch.
.
The module uses tables in a PostgreSQL database to store user, group, and
shadow information. The module can be configured to use custom queries to
retrieve it's information from a database. The module allows one to separate
the configuration for shadow information from group and user information to
restrict access to shadow information to privileged users (i.e. root or the
shadow group).
