Hello Forum,
/etc/nsswitch.conf tells us about itself: "
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file."
With me
'
Code: [Select]
siductionbox:~$ info libc "Name Service Switch"' displays 'libc - overview of standard C libraries on Linux' which is an account about the history of libc and glibc and not about the Name Service Switch and no directions for using the file /etc/nsswitch.conf. :'(
Where can I find information about the Name Service Switch and directions for using the file /etc/nsswitch.conf?
