dsyppasswdd

The dsyppasswdd daemon manages changes to the password tables stored in the LDAP directory. It runs on the master server and responds to requests from users who invoke the passwd command to change their password, full name (in the gecos field) or shell. The dsyppasswdd daemon makes updates to the LDAP database, and also to the NIS passwd file. It also updates the shadow file when there is one.

For details of how to configure the dsyppasswdd daemon, refer to the dsyppasswdd(8) man page.
