Hi,
I've been seeing the same issues with nscd not caching, but =
unfortunately your patch doesn't seem to change things, for better or =
worse.
My nsswitch.conf looks as follows:
group: cache files nis
hosts: cache files dns
networks: cache files
passwd: cache files nis
shells: files
services: cache files nis
protocols: cache files
rpc: cache files
When I start "nscd -n -s -t" and then run top in another shell, top =
takes ~10 seconds to start up every time; if nscd did its thing, repeat =
invocations should be much faster. nscd doesn't seem to see any activity =
either, based on its log:
[elars@one: ~] sudo nscd -n -s -t
M1 from main: request agents registered successfully
M2 from cache: cache was successfully initialized
M2 from runtime environment: using socket /var/run/nscd
M2 from runtime environment: successfully initialized
M1 from main: working in single-threaded mode
<no further output>
