.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B Slapd
is the stand-alone LDAP daemon. It listens for LDAP connections on
-port 389, responding
+any number of ports (default 389), responding
to the LDAP operations it receives over these connections.
.B slapd
is typically invoked at boot time, usually out of
Upon startup,
.B slapd
normally forks and disassociates itself from the invoking tty.
+If configured in
+.BR ETCDIR/slapd.conf ,
+the
+.B slapd
+process will print its process ID ( see
+.BR getpid (2)
+) to a
+.B .pid
+file, as well as the command line options during invocation to an
+.B .args
+file ( see
+.BR slapd.conf (5)
+).
If the
.B \-d
-flag is given and debugging is set to some non-zero
-value,
+flag is given, even with a zero argument,
.B slapd
will not fork and disassociate from the invoking tty.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
+.B \-4
+Listen on IPv4 addresses only.
+.TP
+.B \-6
+Listen on IPv6 addresses only.
+.TP
.BI \-d " debug\-level"
Turn on debugging as defined by
.I debug\-level.
-If this option is specified,
+If this option is specified, even with a zero argument,
.B slapd
will not fork or disassociate from the invoking terminal. Some general
operation and status messages are printed for any value of \fIdebug\-level\fP.
\fIdebug\-level\fP is taken as a bit string, with each bit corresponding to a
different kind of debugging information. See <ldap.h> for details.
+Remember that if you turn on packet logging, packets containing bind passwords
+will be output, so if you redirect the log to a logfile, that file should
+be read-protected.
.TP
.BI \-s " syslog\-level"
This option tells
.BR syslog (8)
facility.
.TP
+.BI \-n " service\-name"
+Specifies the service name for logging and other purposes. Defaults
+to basename of argv[0], i.e.: "slapd".
+.TP
+.BI \-l " syslog\-local\-user"
+Selects the local user of the
+.BR syslog (8)
+facility. Values can be
+.BR LOCAL0 ,
+.BR LOCAL1 ,
+and so on, up to
+.BR LOCAL7 .
+The default is
+.BR LOCAL4 .
+However, this option is only permitted on systems that support
+local users with the
+.BR syslog (8)
+facility.
+.TP
.BI \-f " slapd\-config\-file"
Specifies the slapd configuration file. The default is
.BR ETCDIR/slapd.conf .
.TP
-.BI \-p " port\-number"
+.BI \-h " URLlist"
.B slapd
-will listen on the default LDAP port (389) unless this option is given
-to override the default.
+will by default serve
+.B ldap:///
+(LDAP over TCP on all interfaces on default LDAP port). That is,
+it will bind using INADDR_ANY and port 389.
+The
+.B \-h
+option may be used to specify LDAP (and LDAPS) URLs to serve.
+For example, if slapd is given
+.B \-h " ldap://127.0.0.1:9009/ ldaps:/// ldapi:///",
+It will bind 127.0.0.1:9009 for LDAP, 0.0.0.0:636 for LDAP over TLS,
+and LDAP over IPC (Unix domain sockets). Host 0.0.0.0 represents
+INADDR_ANY.
+A space separated list of URLs is expected. The URLs should be of
+LDAP (ldap://) or LDAP over TLS (ldaps://) or LDAP over IPC (ldapi://)
+scheme without a DN or other optional parameters. Support for the
+latter two schemes depends on selected configuration options. Hosts
+may be specified by name or IPv4 and IPv6 address formats.
+Ports, if specfied, must be numeric. The default ldap:// port is 389
+and the default ldaps:// port is 636.
.TP
-.B \-i
-This option tells
+.BI \-r " directory"
+Specifies a chroot "jail" directory. slapd will
+.BR chdir (2)
+then
+.BR chroot (2)
+to this directory after opening listeners but before reading
+any configuration file or initializing any backend.
+.TP
+.BI \-u " user"
.B slapd
-that it is being run from
-.BR inetd(8) ,
-the Internet protocol daemon.
+will run slapd with the specified user name or id, and that user's
+supplementary group access list as set with initgroups(3). The group ID
+is also changed to this user's gid, unless the -g option is used to
+override.
+.TP
+.BI \-g " group"
+.B slapd
+will run with the specified group name or id.
+.LP
+Note that on some systems, running as a non-privileged user will prevent
+passwd back-ends from accessing the encrypted passwords. Note also that
+any shell back-ends will run as the specified non-privileged user.
+.TP
+.BI \-t
+.B slapd
+will read the configuration file (the default if none is given with the
+\fI\-f\fP switch) and check its syntax, without opening any listener
+or database.
