There might be times when you want to turn off the target workstation's or server's ability to accept logins from eDirectory. You can permanently turn off this ability by removing the Linux User Management software from the target computer. You can temporarily disable eDirectory authentication and Linux User Management by stopping the namcd daemon.
To stop namcd, open a shell window and enter rcnamcd stop.
To turn on eDirectory authentication and Linux User Management, open a shell window and enter rcnamcd start.
