<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>nss-systemd</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
|
|
functionality of the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing UNIX user and group name
|
|
resolution for services implementing the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/USER_GROUP_API">User/Group Record
|
|
Lookup API via Varlink</ulink>, such as the system and service manager
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> (for its
|
|
<varname>DynamicUser=</varname> feature, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
|
details),
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-homed.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, or <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs
|
|
0 and 65534) remain resolvable at all times, even if they aren't listed in <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or
|
|
<filename>/etc/group</filename>, or if these files are missing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This module preferably utilizes
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-userdbd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for resolving users and groups, but also works without the service running.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>systemd</literal> to the lines starting with
|
|
<literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>systemd</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or
|
|
<literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines so that
|
|
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para>
