NAME

       ud - interactive LDAP Directory Server query program

SYNOPSIS

       ud [-Dv] [-s server] [-d debug-mask] [-l ldap-debug-mask] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

       ud  is used to interogate a directory server via the Lightweight Direc-
       tory Access Protocol (LDAP).

OPTIONS

       -s server Used to specify the name of an LDAP server to which ud should
                 connect.  If this flag is omitted, the value specified in the
                 ud configuration file is used.  If no value is  specified  in
                 the  configuration  file,  or the configuration file does not
                 exist, the name ldap is used.  Of course, it  is  up  to  the
                 system  administrator  to make sure that the name ldap can be
                 resolved (presumably through the use of a CNAME or  A  record
                 in  the  DNS and the appropriate search path specified in the
                 resolver config file).

       -d debug-mask
                 Sets the ud debug mask to the value  specified.   Values  for
                 the mask can be dumped by using the -D flag.

       -f file   Sets the configuration file to the name specified.

       -l ldap-debug-mask
                 Sets the LDAP debug mask to the value specified.

       -v        Turns  on  verbose  output.  Also toggable via the ud verbose
                 command.

       -D        Prints out a list of valid ud debug masks.

FILES

       /etc/openldap/ud.conf         The ud configuration file.

DIAGNOSTICS

       ud will try to be nice about error conditions, and in most cases prints
       a warm and fuzzy error message when it encounters a problem.  Sometimes
       the error will be unexpected, and in these cases, ud uses the ldap_per-
       ror() routine to print an informative diagnostic.

BUGS

       Too numerous to mention.
