Based on nss_pts, i wrote nss-ptdb which provides some more features:
   * fake homedirectory information from ptdb
     ( homedir= /afs/$cellname/user/$username )
   * client-server-based: because of threading-issues, the actual afs-calls
     are done by a small local server process. The nss-plugin communicates
     with that server process to resolve names.
   * debian-packages are available :-)

I've got two AFS-cells using libnss-ptdb exclusively for username-lookup.

Sourcecode is available here:
