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.

       -n, --nofork
              Do not fork or daemonise and run nslcd in the foreground.

       --help Display short help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.
