NAME

lookupd - lookup daemon

SYNOPSIS

lookupd

DESCRIPTION

The lookupd daemon is used in conjunction with NetInfo to speed up system lookups.

lookupd is normally started by the /etc/rc file. All lookupd configuration options are read from NetInfo. See the on-line release notes for details.

lookupd writes a file with its process ID number (pid file) in /etc/lookupd.pid. Note that it is not possible to restart lookupd without rebooting the system.
