This is an implementation of lookupd - name service switch daemon.
|
|
It gives an ability to use IPC model for different lookup operations
|
|
(just like nsswitch, but all requests are processed by lookupd daemon),
|
|
which in turn makes system-wide caching possible. Besides, unlike
|
|
the nsswitch lookupd can use persistent connections and different
|
|
other optimizations.
|
|
|
|
As current nsswitch implementation, lookupd is also based on plugins,
|
|
which are a bit different from standard nss_* plugins such as nss_ldap,
|
|
but they are easy to port. Files and dns plugins are installed by
|
|
default and lookupd_ldap module can be found in ports.
|
|
|
|
Lookupd should be plugged into the current FreeBSD
|
|
nsswitch implementation using a standard module - nss_lookupd.so.
