  <longdescription lang="en">
    Provides a Name Service Switch (NSS) module that allows your LDAP
    server to provide user account, group, host name, alias, netgroup, and
    basically any other information that you would normally get from /etc
    flat files or NIS. It also provides a Pluggable Authentication Module
    (PAM) to do authentication to an LDAP server.

    This is implemented using thin NSS and PAM modules which delegate to a
    dedicated service (nslcd) that queries the LDAP server with persistent
    connections, authentication, attribute translation, etc.
