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. + +WWW: http://www.rsu.ru/~bushman/lookupd |
