Trying to open that file is moot if you don't have nscd installed. They will always try to open it, for any nss functions, and ignore the failure if it doesn't not exist. > Some just segfault (emacs). > > >From former threads in this list I know, that there might be issues > with libnss*. > > I really need that machine up and running again urgently - what can I do? > Are there fixed packages maybe already somewhere in incoming? I don't see these problems, and I haven't heard of anyone else having these problems. What kernel are you running? What is your network configuration? Sounds like an isolated local problem, most likely not even related to glibc. Also saying "broken" is not really very helpful. Exact error messages, and test cases are important. Neither of which you have produced, so there is nothing I can go on to help you.
