UD(1)UD(1)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.

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.
