| + | =head1 LIBC NSS |
| + | |
| + | GNU Libc (glibc) uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior |
| + | of the C library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads |
| + | system data, such as passwords and group information. This is implemented |
| + | using an /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration file, and using one or more of the |
| + | /lib/libnss_* libraries. BusyBox tries to avoid using any libc calls that make |
| + | use of NSS. Some applets however, such as login and su, will use libc functions |
| + | that require NSS. |
| + | |
| + | If you enable CONFIG_USE_BB_PWD_GRP, BusyBox will use internal functions to |
| + | directly access the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow files without |
| + | using NSS. This may allow you to run your system without the need for |
| + | installing any of the NSS configuration files and libraries. |
| + | |
| + | When used with glibc, the BusyBox 'networking' applets will similarly require |
| + | that you install at least some of the glibc NSS stuff (in particular, |
| + | /etc/nsswitch.conf, /lib/libnss_dns*, /lib/libnss_files*, and /lib/libresolv*). |
| + | |
| + | Shameless Plug: As an alternative, one could use a C library such as uClibc. In |
| + | addition to making your system significantly smaller, uClibc does not require the |
| + | use of any NSS support files or libraries. |
