<pre>I currently have an issue on CentOS 7.. where nslcd simply stops working, and
systemctl/systemd restart just hangs.. I have to manually kill it.
until I "hopefully" find a fix.. I'd like to detect this situation and restart
the service.
Since systemd has this nice watchdog setup.. I'd like to use it, but
appearently it currently requires me to modify nss-pam-ldapd (ie. nslcd's
source)..
I was hoping I could pursuade you to allow for a definition of an external
check.. (in my case something like: getent passwd | wc -l - and check count
larger than list in local passwd file)
So I don't have to write my own logic in a cronjob to fix it :)</pre>
