NAME

       pwgrd - password and group hashing and caching daemon

SYNOPSIS

       logfile]

DESCRIPTION

       provides  accelerated lookup of password and group information for libc routines like and implements per request type caches and hashtables
       as appropriate.	When the corresponding routine in libc is called, a request is issued to via a Unix domain socket connection.	determines
       whether it can satisfy the request, returning the appropriate results to the requesting process.

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

       Debug mode.  Do not become a daemon.
		    Issue additional diagnostic messages.  Instead of logging message via issue messages to stderr.

       Logfile.  In addition to logging via
		    will write log messages to logfile.

       modifies  its behavior depending on whether or not the local machine is using some form of NIS for password or group information.  When NIS
       is being used, the hashtables corresponding to that service are not generated or consulted.  Therefore only caching is provided	for  those
       requests.
