7

SYNOPSIS

9       nslcd [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       nslcd  is  a  daemon that will do LDAP queries for local processes that
13       want to do user, group and other naming lookups (NSS) or  do  user  au‐
14       thentication, authorisation or password modification (PAM).
15
16       nslcd is configured through a configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5)).
17
18       See the included README for information on configuring the LDAP server.

OPTIONS

21       nslcd accepts the following options:
22
23       -c, --check
24              Check  if  the daemon is running.  This causes nslcd to return 0
25              if the daemon is already running and 1 if it is not.
26
27       -d, --debug
28              Enable debugging mode.  nslcd will not put itself in  the  back‐
29              ground  and  sends verbose debugging info to stderr.  nslcd will
30              handle connections as usual.  This option is for debugging  pur‐
31              poses  only.  Specify this option multiple times to also include
32              more detailed logging from the LDAP library.
33
34       --help Display short help and exit.
35
