Description

pynslcd  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).

       pynslcd is configured through a configuration file (see nslcd.conf(5)).

       See the included README for information on configuring the LDAP server.

Options

pynslcd accepts the following options:

       -c, --check
              Check if the daemon is running.  This causes pynslcd to return 0 if the daemon is already  running
              and 1 if it is not.

       -d, --debug
              Enable  debugging mode.  pynslcd will not put itself in the background and sends verbose debugging
              info to stderr.  pynslcd 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 li‐
              brary.

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

       --help Display short help and exit.

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