(apologies for the suckiness of this installation manual) Installation- download and unpack the latest tarball from the downloads page above.
- The runtests program in the source directory can be used to validate that the source passes all unit tests.
- run ./setup.py build
- run sudo ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
- sudo chmod 0600 /etc/nsscache.conf
(to use the libnss-cache NSS module) - download and unpack the libnss-cache tarball from the downloads page above
- run sudo make install
Configuration- edit /etc/nsscache.conf to set up which system databases you wish to synchronise, and to set local configuration parameters.
- nsscache update --full will perform a full update
- nsscache verify will confirm that the system is configured
- Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to point your local database to use the cache nss module, or the db module.
Testing- compare the results of getent passwd before and after changing /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure the results are the same.
