Description

New port: sysutils/nss_ndb BerkeleyDB-based nsswitch backend for passwd & groups

This project consists of a NSS module (nss_ndb.so.1) and a CLI
utility (makendb) that enables big passwd & group files to be
handled efficiently via BTree BerkeleyDB databases.

To activate and use this you must (after installation):

  1. Manually add a symbolic link:

    /usr/lib/nss_ndb.so.1 -> /path/to/lib/nss_ndb.so.1.<version>
  1. Populate the databases in /var/db/nss_ndb via "makendb" (or some other tool).
  1. Activate it in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

    passwd: files ndb group: files ndb
