I can only speak for myself and I stopped using nscd since the support is crap.

A while ago (t > 1 1/2 years) I realised within a OpenLDAP environment, that 
when nscd is
running, sometimes the system simple "forgets" about root - this is painful 
while
installing/updating ports and getting interrupted with a weird error "unknown 
user root".

nscd is supposed to be used in large environments where the cost for a user 
lookup, like
in OpenLDAP, is worse. But obviously FreeBSD isn't used in that large 
environments with
OpenLDAP and I'm wondering what the purpose of nscd is.
