Or in other words, it both allows applications to efficiently query user/group records from local services, and allows local subsystems to provide user/group records efficiently to local applications. +The concepts described here define an IPC interface. Alternatively, user/group +records may be dropped in number of drop-in directories as files where they are +picked up in addition to the users/groups defined by this IPC logic.
