A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Cyril Bouthors <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: NSS module for multidomain
System name: nss-multidom
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
This name service switch (NSS) module solves the common problem of
potential login name collisions when hosting users from several
domains on the same server. No longer need to use a prefix or suffix
and hide it everywhere the login appear, you can simply have several
password files. The right DB passwd file used depends on
$ENV{VIRTUAL_DOMAIN}, here is a short example :
$ export VIRTUAL_DOMAIN=domain1
$ echo ~foo
/home/domain1/foo
/var/db/domain1/passwd.db was used
$ export VIRTUAL_DOMAIN=domain2
$ echo ~foo
/home/domain2/foo
/var/db/domain2/passwd.db was used
Once the library installed, you simply have configure your deamons to
have the $ENV{VIRTUAL_DOMAIN} variable nicely defined depending on the
domain.
