This project consists of a NSS module (nss_ndb.so.1) and a CLI
utility (makendb) that enables big passwd & group files to be
handled efficiently via BTree BerkeleyDB databases.

To activate and use this you must (after installation):

1. Manually add a symbolic link:

   /usr/lib/nss_ndb.so.1 -> /path/to/lib/nss_ndb.so.1.<version>

2. Populate the databases in /var/db/nss_ndb via "makendb" (or some
   other tool).

3. Activate it in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

   passwd: files ndb
   group:  files ndb
