nslcd - local LDAP name service daemon
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.
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.
- SIGTERM/SIGINT
- Cancel any running queries and exit.
- SIGUSR1
- Cause nslcd to retry any failing connections to the LDAP server,
regardless of the reconnect_sleeptime and
reconnect_retrytime options.
