nslcd(8) System Manager's Manual nslcd(8)
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 au-
thentication, 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 back-
ground and sends verbose debugging info to stderr. nslcd will
handle connections as usual. This option is for debugging pur-
poses 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.
SIGNALS
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.
FILES
/etc/nslcd.conf - the configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5))
