John Beppu5bca0af2001-04-05 19:41:23 +0000[diff] [blame]3=head1 LIBC NSS
4
5GNU Libc uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior of the C
6library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads system data,
7such as passwords and group information. BusyBox has made it Policy that it
8will never use NSS, and will never use and libc calls that make use of NSS.
9This allows you to run an embedded system without the need for installing an
10/etc/nsswitch.conf file and without and /lib/libnss_* libraries installed.
11
12If you are using a system that is using a remote LDAP server for authentication
13via GNU libc NSS, and you want to use BusyBox, then you will need to adjust the
14BusyBox source. Chances are though, that if you have enough space to install
15of that stuff on your system, then you probably want the full GNU utilities.
