== What is this? == nss_vserver is a nss authentication module for linux-vserver powered systems which allows processes running on the host (sshd, getty) to authenticate users that exist on guests. The module should almost transparently drop in to a modern Linux system: PAM would call its pam_unix module, which would in turn look through the nss modules to complete the process. If you want to complete the guest login process, you should also get a modified version of vslogin linked to below. vslogin will pick up after authentication and deliver the user to a shell on his guest. Note that with nss_vserver you don't need the syncshadows included in the vserverauth tarball.
