[SLUG] What is libnsl ?

Hello sluggers, I'm trying to build hal (hardware abstraction layer) for Gnome's volume manager for 2.8. It comes with -lnsl not found - what is libnsl.so if it exists, or is this a script bug ? I can't get into the freedesktop.org site (where hal lives) because it's been hacked... so no info.
