NAME

       nslcd - local LDAP name service daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       nslcd [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       nslcd  is  a daemon that will do LDAP queries for local processes that want to do user, group and other naming lookups (NSS) or do user au-
       thentication, authorisation or password modification (PAM).

       nslcd is configured through a configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5)).

       See the included README for information on configuring the LDAP server.

OPTIONS

       nslcd accepts the following options:

       -c, --check
	      Check if the daemon is running.  This causes nslcd to return 0 if the daemon is already running and 1 if it is not.

       -d, --debug
	      Enable debugging mode.  nslcd will not put itself in the background and sends verbose debugging info to stderr.  nslcd  will  handle
	      connections as usual.  This option is for debugging purposes only.  Specify this option multiple times to also include more detailed
	      logging from the LDAP library.

       --help Display short help and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Output version information and exit.

FILES

       /etc/nslcd.conf - the configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5))
