-The NSS-MySQL name service switch library
-
-libnss_mysql retrieves user account information from a MySQL database server.
-Per default stored in /etc/{group,passwd,shadow} on Unix-like systems. Which
-(partly) is similar in functionality to NIS, LDAP, RADIUS, Hesoid, winbindd
-
-When used over a remote-network uttermost care should be taken in the security
-of this (such as TLS/SSL encrypting the connection) and even then storing any
-valid password for such 'virtual' users is probably a bad idea in itself.
-
-Kerberos provides for a far superior single-sign-on authentication system
-(the 'shadow' part in these setups) in both performance and security.
-
-Besides, this may break stuff so bad you'd need console access to fix it...
-For some basic installation instructions though see README.SLACKWARE
