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
       authentication, 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))
