Nss_ldap is a glibc NSS module that allows X.500 and LDAP directory
servers to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers, groups,
hosts, networks, protocol, users, RPCs, services, and shadow passwords
(instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS).

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is used to access
online directory services. It runs directly over TCP and can be used to
access a stand-alone LDAP directory service or to access a directory
service that has an X.500 back-end.

This package contains the OpenLDAP client utilities.
