NAME
       pwgrd - password and group hashing and caching daemon

SYNOPSIS
       logfile]

DESCRIPTION
       provides	 accelerated lookup of password and group information for libc
       routines like and implements per request type caches and hashtables  as
       appropriate.   When  the	 corresponding	routine	 in  libc is called, a
       request is issued to via a Unix domain socket  connection.   determines
       whether	it  can satisfy the request, returning the appropriate results
       to the requesting process.

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

       Debug mode.  Do not become a daemon.
		    Issue additional diagnostic messages.  Instead of  logging
		    message via issue messages to stderr.

       Logfile.	 In addition to logging via
		    will write log messages to logfile.

       modifies	 its behavior depending on whether or not the local machine is
       using some form of NIS for password or group information.  When NIS  is
       being used, the hashtables corresponding to that service are not gener‐
       ated or consulted.   Therefore  only  caching  is  provided  for	 those
       requests.
