Briefly, nscd is a daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for running programs and caches the results for the next query. You should use nscd only if you use slow Services like LDAP, NIS or NIS+ ---- __NAME__ nscd - name service caching daemon __SYNOPSIS__ nscd [[OPTION...] __DESCRIPTION__ Nscd caches libc-issued requests to the Name Service. If retrieving NSS data is fairly expensive, nscd is able to speed up consecutive access to the same data dramatically and increase overall system performance. Nscd should be run at boot time by /etc/init.d/nscd. __OPTIONS__ ;-d, --debug: Do not fork and display messages on the current tty. ;-f, --config-file NAME: Read configuration data from NAME. ;-g, --statistic: Print current configuration statistic. ;-i, --invalidate TABLE: Invalidate the specified TABLE, i. e. forget all data cached therein. This should be used if the database storing this information has been changed. ;-K, --shutdown: Quit a running nscd process. ;-S, --secure TABLE: Use a separate cache for each user. ;-t, --nthreads NUMBER: Start NUMBER threads. The number of threads started denotes that maximum number of requests that can be handled simultaneously. The default is set in the configuration file. (See nscd.conf(5).) ;-?, --help: Print a short help list. ;--usage: Print a short usage message. ;-V, --version: Print program version. __FILES__ ;/etc/nscd.conf: Nscd configuration file. See nscd.conf(5) for more information. ;/etc/nsswitch.conf: Name Service Switch configuration. See nsswitch.conf(5) for more information. __SEE ALSO__ GNU C Library info file, nscd.conf(5), nsswitch.conf(5) GNU C Library 2.2 January 07, 2001 ----
