Contents
Description
nss-cache-oslogin is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C
Library (glibc). This module provides UNIX name resolution from a local cache of users and groups
configured in the GoogleCloudOSLogin system. The "passwd" and "group" services are supported by this
module.
To use the NSS module, add "cache_oslogin" to the appropriate service lines in nsswitch.conf. It is
recommended to place "cache_oslogin" after any system provided modules and before the "oslogin" module,
as it is a pass-through cache.
