   22 .SH DESCRIPTION
   23 \fBnslcd\fR is a daemon that will do LDAP queries for local
   24 processes that want to do user, group and other naming lookups (NSS) or do
   25 user authentication, authorisation or password modification (PAM).
   26 .PP
   27 \fBnslcd\fR is configured through a configuration file
   28 (see \fBnslcd.conf\fR(5)).
   29 .PP
   30 See the included README for information on configuring the LDAP server.
   31 .SH OPTIONS
   32 \fBnslcd\fR accepts the following options:
   33 .TP 
   34 \*(T<\fB\-c\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-check\fR\*(T> 
   35 Check if the daemon is running.
   36 This causes \fBnslcd\fR to return 0 if the daemon is already running and 1 if it is not.
   37 .TP 
   38 \*(T<\fB\-d\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-debug\fR\*(T> 
   39 Enable debugging mode.
   40 \fBnslcd\fR will not put itself in the background and sends
   41 verbose debugging info to stderr.
   42 \fBnslcd\fR will handle connections as usual.
   43 This option is for debugging purposes only.
   44 Specify this option multiple times to also include more detailed logging
   45 from the LDAP library.
   46 .TP 
   47 \*(T<\fB\-n\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-nofork\fR\*(T> 
   48 Do not fork or daemonise and run \fBnslcd\fR in the
   49 foreground.
   50 .TP 
   51 \*(T<\fB\-\-help\fR\*(T> 
   52 Display short help and exit.
   53 .TP 
   54 \*(T<\fB\-V\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-version\fR\*(T> 
   55 Output version information and exit.
   56 .SH SIGNALS
   57 .TP 
   58 \*(T<\fBSIGTERM\fR\*(T>/\*(T<\fBSIGINT\fR\*(T>
   59 Cancel any running queries and exit.
   60 .TP 
   61 \*(T<\fBSIGUSR1\fR\*(T>
   62 Cause \fBnslcd\fR to retry any failing connections
   63 to the LDAP server, regardless of the \*(T<\fBreconnect_sleeptime\fR\*(T>
   64 and \*(T<\fBreconnect_retrytime\fR\*(T> options.
