Package: nscd Version: 2.3.6-7 Severity: minor
I noticed that nscd had cached an old copy of an LDAP group which we had recently changed. After a few minutes of bad results I ran '/etc/init.d/nscd restart' in the hope that it would cause nscd to invalidate its cache but this didn't work. 'ncsd --invalidate group' did - but it feels like the restart should have either simply purged the cache or resulted in a background revalidation. The TTL logic also seems to be a little imprecise - the group ttl is listed as 600 seconds (nscd --statistics) but it was closer to 15 minutes before all of the clients I was testing with had updated. (All testing was conducted using 'getent group') -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages nscd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries nscd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
