It listens for LDAP connections onport 389, respondingto the LDAP operations it receives over these connections.slapdis typically invoked at boot time, usually out of/etc/rc.local.Upon startup,slapdnormally forks and disassociates itself from the invoking tty.If the-dflag is given and debugging is set to some non-zerovalue,slapdwill not fork and disassociate from the invoking tty.

Slapdcan be configured to provide replicated service for a database withthe help ofslurpd,the standalone LDAP update replication daemon.Seeslurpd(8)for details.

See "The SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide" for more details onslapd.
