With LDAP-UX Client Services, and ldapclientd in particular, HP-UX commands and subsystems
can access name service information transparently from the LDAP directory or from the Active
Directory through PAM and NSS. Table 2 (page 20) shows some examples of commands and
subsystems that use PAM and NSS. In addition, the getpwent and getgrent family of system
calls obtain user and group information from the directory (for more information, see the
getpwent(3C) and getgrent(3C) manpages).

performance for large databases.
