.SH "NAME"
nss-cache-oslogin, libnss_cache_oslogin.so.2 \- UNIX implementation for OS Login Users and Groups with local caching\&.

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
libnss_cache_oslogin\&.so\&.2

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBnss\-cache\-oslogin\fR is a plug\-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch
(NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (\fBglibc\fR)\&.
This module provides UNIX name resolution from a local cache of users and groups
configured in the \fIGoogle Cloud OS Login\fR system\&.
The "passwd" and "group" services are supported by this module\&.
.PP
To use the NSS module, add "cache_oslogin" to the appropriate service lines
in nsswitch\&.conf\&.
It is recommended to place "cache_oslogin" after any system provided modules
and before the "oslogin" module, as it is a pass-through cache.

.SH "FILES"
.IP /etc/oslogin_passwd.cache
user cache file
.IP /etc/oslogin_group.cache
group cache file

.SH "NOTES"
Documentation for the Google Cloud OS Login service is available online at
