Bug#324890: nscd does not respond
Scott Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The latest version of ncsd opens a socket in /var/run/.nscd_socket, however it appears the glibc libraries are looking for it in /var/run/nscd/socket. After making a symlink from /var/run/nscd/socket to /var/run/.nscd_socket, an strace on 'ls -l' shows nscd being used. nscd 2.3.6-6 opens /var/run/nscd/socket, as does libc6 2.3.6-6. Which version are you using? I also note that an strace on 'getent passwd' doesn't seem to use nscd, while 'getent passwd user' does. AFAIK, that's how it works -- nscd only handles individual requests where there is a benefit from caching. The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Bug#324890: nscd does not respond
This issue is not specific to libnss-mysql-bg - even when using just 'files' in nsswitch.conf, nscd does not respond without the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL flag.
