.SH SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
The PASSWD backend to
.BR slapd (8)
serves up the user account information listed in the system
.BR passwd (5)
file.
The DN of each entry is "uid=<username>,<suffix>".
Note that non-base searches scan the the entire passwd file, and
are best suited for hosts with small passwd files.

option applies to the PASSWD backend database.
That is, it must follow a "database passwd" line and come before any
subsequent "backend" or "database" lines.
Other database options are described in the
.BR slapd.conf (5)
manual page.
.TP
.B file <filename>
Specifies an alternate passwd file to use.
The default is
.BR /etc/passwd .
