+The resolution of the entities defined in RFC 2307 is generally performed
+by a set of UNIX C library calls (such as getpwnam() to return the attributes
+of a user). The nss_ldap module provides the means for Solaris and Linux
+workstations to this information (such as users, hosts, and groups) from
+LDAP directories. The modules is the reference implementation of RFC 2307,
+and has been studied by vendors such as Sun (who developed the original
+Name Service Switch interface).
