[Bug 806761] Re: Feature Request: Upstart scripts for nslcd

[Arthur de Jong]

It is not recommended to run nslcd in debug mode in production.

Anyway, on start-up nslcd will call daemon() to daemonise. I thought
that daemon() called fork() twice but according to the manual page it
only forks once. After that, it starts a number of threads (configured
by the threads option in nslcd.conf) and optionally starts another sub-
process to do cache invalidation. This last process is only started in
0.9.0 and later if configured and is started before dropping privileges
so runs as root (while other processes commonly run as user nslcd).
