Create databases/nss-pgsql package

completed by: Matthew

mentors: Aleksej Saushev

We don't have packaged PostgreSQL NSS module to keep users database in DBMS. It would be nice to have it to support single sign-on (SSO) services built around PostgreSQL DBMS.

Create a pkgsrc package for NSS module from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/sysauth/ (pkgsrc is NetBSD-originated portable framework for building software packages.)

Provide instructions how to test its functionality (smoke test).

 

It is possible that you run into blocking problem. Problem report that includes description of problem, step-by-step instructions to reproduce it, and explanation why it is considered blocking is accepted as successful task completion.
