Hi,

as i just got informed, libnss-maria does support TLS/SSL connections to DB servers and is a replacement for the normal libnss-mysql, which does not support encrypted connections. The libnss-mysql package is unchanged for years now and is based on age old code from early 200x

As libnss-mysql  is used in PAM authentication an encrypted connection is vital for enterprise setups.

Normally, people use LDAP for remote auth on desktops, but been there, a mysql setup is so much easier to maintain and setup IMHO.

I suggest to test the new version and exchange it asap, if it's stable, has equal functionality and passed a code audit.
