libnss-maria 1.0

Replacement for old libnss-mysql as naming service library in Linux. You can store user information in MariaDB/MySQL database. E.g. `ls` then automatically shows user name from the database, `getent` shows users and groups. ## Features - implements `password`, `shadow` and `group` getters - `cmake` build system - `libconfig` for configuration - uses direct queries and `real_escape_string` - uses `threads.c` from `C11` - requirements: `Glibc 2.28`, `GCC 8`, equivalent of `Debian 10` (*Buster*) and newer, `MySQL 5.5+`/`MariaDB 10.0+`, `mariadb-connector-c`/`libmysqlclient`. Might work or compile on older systems, but it's untested - tested systems - latest `Archlinux`, `CentOS`, `Debian`, `Fedora`, `Ubuntu` and `Ubuntu LTS` - both *unix socket* and *hostname* + *port* are supported - accepts custom mysql client configuration - shouldn't be used with SUID programs
