NAME

6       nslcd - local LDAP name service daemon
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       -n, --nofork
35              Do not fork or daemonise and run nslcd in the foreground.
36
37       --help Display short help and exit.
38
39       -V, --version
40              Output version information and exit.
41

SIGNALS

43       SIGTERM/SIGINT
44              Cancel any running queries and exit.
45
46       SIGUSR1
47              Cause nslcd to retry any failing connections to the LDAP server,
48              regardless  of  the  reconnect_sleeptime and reconnect_retrytime
49              options.
