+<h1> An overview of nsss </h1>
+
+<p>
+ nsss is a secure implementation of a subset of the
+<tt>pwd.h</tt>, <tt>grp.h</tt> and <tt>shadow.h</tt> functionality, i.e.
+user authentication on Unix systems. It includes full POSIX
+functionality, a few GNU extensions, and an underlying
+<a href="libnsss/">C client library</a> with better error reporting
+than the POSIX interface specifies.
