| =head1 LIBC NSS |
| |
| GNU Libc uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior of the C |
| library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads system data, |
| such as passwords and group information. BusyBox has made it Policy that it |
| will never use NSS, and will never use and libc calls that make use of NSS. |
| This allows you to run an embedded system without the need for installing an |
| /etc/nsswitch.conf file and without and /lib/libnss_* libraries installed. |
| |
| If you are using a system that is using a remote LDAP server for authentication |
| via GNU libc NSS, and you want to use BusyBox, then you will need to adjust the |
| BusyBox source. Chances are though, that if you have enough space to install |
| of that stuff on your system, then you probably want the full GNU utilities. |
