NAME
/usr/sbin/nscd - name service cache daemon
DESCRIPTION
Nscd is a daemon that provides a cache for the most common name service
requests.
The default configuration file,
/etc/nscd.conf,
determines the behavior of the cache daemon.
See
nscd.conf(5).
There are two caches for each database:
a positive one for items found, and a negative one
for items not found.
Each cache has a separate TTL (time-to-live)
period for its data.
Note that the shadow file is specifically not cached.
getspnam(3)
calls remain uncached as a result.
OPTIONS
--help
will give you a list with all options and what they do.
NOTES
Nscd doesn't know anything about the underlying protocols for a
service.
This also means, that if you change
/etc/resolv.conf
for DNS queries, nscd will continue to use the old one if you have
configured
/etc/nsswitch.conf
to use DNS for host lookups.
In such a case, you need to restart
nscd.
