   57   <para>
   58    <command>pynslcd</command> is a daemon that will do LDAP queries for local
   59    processes that want to do user, group and other naming lookups (NSS) or do
   60    user authentication, authorisation or password modification (PAM).
   61   </para>
   62   <para>
   63    <command>pynslcd</command> is configured through a configuration file
   64    (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nslcd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
   65   </para>

   98       <command>pynslcd</command> will handle connections as usual.
