Source: libnss-mysql-bg Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Emmanuel Lacour Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), libmysqlclient15-dev, dpatch Standards-Version: 3.8.2 Package: libnss-mysql-bg Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: mysql-server, libpam-mysql Conflicts: libnss-mysql Description: 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.
