This is nss-ldapd, a library for doging NSS name lookups using an LDAP server.

nss-ldapd is a fork from nss_ldap which was orignally written by Luke Howard
of PADL Software Pty Ltd. http://www.padl.com/OSS/nss_ldap.html

In 2006 Arthur de Jong of West Consuling forked the library to split it into a
thin NSS part and a server part. Most of the code was rewritten.
http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/nss-ldapd/

Arthur de Jong is both the upstream and Debian package maintainer, so there
are no differences between the Debian package and the upstream version.

The Debian package of nss-ldapd was partially based on packaging of the
libnss-ldap package. The libnss-ldap package was maintained by Ben Collins,
Davide Puricelli (evo), Sami Haahtinen and Stephen Frost.
