-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-3930 2007-12-03 11:47:54 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libnss-mysql Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.5 Release : 6.fc8 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated packages: 1325b2946a2b1da6373a0aba9e5e51fcd3f35ef4 libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc8.ppc64.rpm acf1ea7c6823e8495c05efb441eb77c008920b3c libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc8.ppc64.rpm 46d46466cffabcf75dcf688a5ea5306481063f90 libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc8.i386.rpm a0d1e6d2913e7a7a41068fb90f2728247833ecdc libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc8.i386.rpm eac478e6a9b2007ef507253a5dbeaeed1eb0a705 libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc8.x86_64.rpm 190d4e3d536fc003742c0568dca0efd9591eb8db libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc8.x86_64.rpm 8e8882b093cf134b1f8a7752e6409cf4129a3528 libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc8.ppc.rpm 92fdca9829c5aa556a14e7df92efbff65e91ce47 libnss-mysql-debuginfo-1.5-6.fc8.ppc.rpm e9134037316d679afa6c91499a9f05931fff25de libnss-mysql-1.5-6.fc8.src.rpm This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
