-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-3883 2007-12-03 11:44:56 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libnss-mysql Product : Fedora 7 Version : 1.5 Release : 6.fc7 URL : http://libnss-mysql.sourceforge.net Summary : NSS library for MySQL Description : Store your UNIX user accounts in MySQL. "libnss-mysql" enables the following: * System-wide authentication and name service using a MySQL database. Applications do not need to be MySQL-aware or modified in any way. * Storing authentication information in a database instead of text files. * Creation of a single authentication database for multiple servers. This is often referred to as the "Single Sign-on" problem. * Writing data-modification routines (IE self-management web interface). libnss-mysql is similar to NIS or LDAP. It provides the same centralized authentication service through a database. What does this mean? Username, uid, gid, password, etc comes from a MySQL database instead of /etc/password, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group. A user configured in MySQL will look and behave just like a user configured in /etc/passwd. Your applications such as ls, finger, sendmail, qmail, exim, postfix, proftpd, X, sshd, etc. will all 'see' these users! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Initial release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated packages: ec112ae87a681adadeecc41f964e7715d591d18f libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc7.ppc64.rpm e8ebea720ee4a5b2531d03f4cefbefd441ebd93f libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc7.ppc64.rpm 6f9ac8a0ce8369a719507beb43a5860b4bb5bcb3 libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc7.i386.rpm 0ea121d407b6cb246c464a32cd51ba097b3ec426 libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc7.i386.rpm b42bc853e3a8aa42ad6cc78da3f3bdc907f7270b libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc7.x86_64.rpm 5831753cd1d28b857958748f543ad8a78c264614 libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc7.x86_64.rpm 922cd8ca547bde181909fbc4a3275836187f93cf libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc7.ppc.rpm e40fb6610405c238b4013a50c1a827f96804b305 libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc7.ppc.rpm 0b7a169e349694cc44effd21a9601036e51079de libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc7.src.rpm This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
