SYNOPSIS

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

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.
