 This is caused by the fact that the C library caches metainformation
 about the password files (e.g. whether or not to use NIS, whether or
 not it has access to the master password map, etc.) and there is
 currently no way of forcing it to clear its cache.
 
 This is really a libc bug, not an inetd bug. It is closely related to
 bin/10281.
