# NAME

`ypldap` — YP map server using LDAP backend

# SYNOPSIS

`ypldap` | [`-dnv`] [`-D` macro=value] [`-f` file]

# DESCRIPTION

`ypldap` is a daemon providing YP maps using LDAP as a backend. RFC 2307 or similar LDAP schemas can be tied to the different YP maps. `ypldap` has the same role as ypserv(8) and the two daemons are mutually exclusive.

The options are as follows:

`-D` macro=value
  Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides the definition of macro in the configuration file.
`-d`
  Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, `ypldap` will run in the foreground and log to stderr.
`-f` file
  Specify an alternative configuration file.
`-n`
  Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
`-v`
  Produce more verbose output.
