1=back 2 3=head1 LIBC NSS 4 5GNU Libc uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior of the C 6library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads system data, 7such as passwords and group information. BusyBox has made it Policy that it 8will never use NSS, and will never use and libc calls that make use of NSS. 9This allows you to run an embedded system without the need for installing an 10/etc/nsswitch.conf file and without and /lib/libnss_* libraries installed. 11 12If you are using a system that is using a remote LDAP server for authentication 13via GNU libc NSS, and you want to use BusyBox, then you will need to adjust the 14BusyBox source. Chances are though, that if you have enough space to install 15of that stuff on your system, then you probably want the full GNU utilities. 16 17=head1 SEE ALSO 18 19textutils(1), shellutils(1), etc... 20 21=head1 MAINTAINER 22 23Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org> <andersen@lineo.com> 24 25=head1 AUTHORS 26 27The following people have contributed code to BusyBox whether 28they know it or not. 29 30 31=for html <br> 32 33Erik Andersen <andersen@lineo.com>, <andersee@debian.org> 34 35 Tons of new stuff, major rewrite of most of the 36 core apps, tons of new apps as noted in header files. 37 38=for html <br> 39 40John Beppu <beppu@lineo.com> 41 42 du, head, nslookup, sort, tee, uniq (so Kraai could rewrite them ;-), 43 documentation 44 45=for html <br> 46 47Edward Betts <edward@debian.org> 48 49 expr, hostid, logname, tty, wc, whoami, yes 50 51=for html <br> 52 53Brian Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com> 54 55 tiny-ls(ls) 56 57=for html <br> 58 59Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org> 60 61 fbset, ping, hostname, and mkfifo 62 63=for html <br> 64 65Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com> 66 67 more(v2), makedevs, dutmp, modularization, auto links file, 68 various fixes, Linux Router Project maintenance 69 70=for html <br> 71 72Larry Doolittle <ldoolitt@recycle.lbl.gov> 73 74 various fixes, shell rewrite 75 76=for html <br> 77 78Karl M.
