31 | <para><command>nss-systemd</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) |
32 | functionality of the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing UNIX user and group name | |
33 | resolution for services implementing the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/USER_GROUP_API">User/Group Record | |
34 | Lookup API via Varlink</ulink>, such as the system and service manager | |
35 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> (for its | |
36 | <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> feature, see | |
37 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for | |

41 | <para>This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs |
42 | 0 and 65534) remain resolvable at all times, even if they aren't listed in <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or | |
43 | <filename>/etc/group</filename>, or if these files are missing.</para> | |
44 | ||
0ba56d36 LP |
45 | <para>This module preferably utilizes |
46 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-userdbd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
47 | for resolving users and groups, but also works without the service running.</para> | |

49 | <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>systemd</literal> to the lines starting with |
50 | <literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para> | |
51 | ||
52 | <para>It is recommended to place <literal>systemd</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or | |
53 | <literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines so that | |
54 | <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para> | |
