It provides an NSS and PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system to connect to multiple different account sources as well as D-Bus interface. It is also the basis to provide client auditing and policy services for projects like FreeIPA. It provides a more robust database to store local users as well as extended user data. </para> </refsect1> <refsect1 id='options'> <title>OPTIONS</title> <variablelist remap='IP'> <varlistentry> <term> <option>-d</option>,<option>--debug-level</option> <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> </term> <listitem> <para> Debug level to run the daemon with. 0 is the default as well as the lowest allowed value, 10 is the most verbose mode.
