NAME
nss-cache-oslogin, libnss_cache_oslogin.so.2 - UNIX implementation for OS Login Users and Groups with local caching.
SYNOPSIS
libnss_cache_oslogin.so.2
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 Google Cloud OS Login 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.
