I have a system where the nscd daemon constantly crashes too.
nscd, libc6, locales, etc is at version 2.3.6.ds1-13
I've tried commenting out the user and group caching settings in the
/etc/nscd.conf file hoping to avoid the crashes since I only need it to cache
host lookups.
This made no difference.
Nor does leaving the entries there and just changing the value of
'enable-cache' for the passwd and group entries to 'no'.
Starting nscd with the -d parameter it starts and runs for about 20 seconds
before failing with:
nscd: cache.c:335: prune_cache: Assertion `dh->usable' failed.
Aborted
This error usually happens after entries like:
27822: Reloading "250.186.184.59.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org." in hosts cache!
27822: Reloading "164.152.206.86.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org." in hosts cache!
Clearing the databases like so:
nscd -i hosts
nscd -i passwd
nscd -i group
Doesn't seem to help either.
I then got rid of the following files by moving them elsewhere:
/var/db/nscd/group
/var/db/nscd/hosts
/var/db/nscd/passwd
This seems to at least get things working for a while, but eventually the nscd
daemon falls over again.
