The backend is chosen at boot time +by running the appropriate daemon that will communicate with +clients. + + See http://skarnet.org/software/nsss/ for details. + + +* Installation + ------------ + + See the INSTALL file. + + +* Contact information + ------------------- + + Laurent Bercot <ska-skaware at skarnet.org> |
