I should not this doesn't happen on my testing machines with libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22. I diff'ed the standard nscd.conf between the two versions and aside from additional comment junk, the apparent problems seem to be these: --- > persistent passwd yes > shared passwd yes 41a54,55 > persistent group yes > shared group yes 47a62,63 > persistent hosts yes > shared hosts yes
So persistent database files were not enabled in 2.3.2.ds1-22 but are in 2.3.5-3, yet the installation scripts do not bother creating /var/db/nscd when it doesn't exist. Seemingly nscd does not fail gracefully upon trying to delete a cache entry in a file which does not exist in the first place. -- Mark Nipper e-contacts: Computing and Information Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] Texas A&M University http://ops.tamu.edu/nipsy/ College Station, TX 77843-3142 AIM/Yahoo: texasnipsy ICQ: 66971617 (979)575-3193 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GG/IT d- s++:+ a- C++$ UBL++++$ P--->+++ L+++$ !E--- W++(--) N+ o K++ w(---) O++ M V(--) PS+++(+) PE(--) Y+ PGP t+ 5 X R tv b+++@ DI+(++) D+ G e h r++ y+(**) ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ ---begin random quote of the moment--- "All existence is conditioned." -- Shakyamuni Buddha ----end random quote of the moment---- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
