Title: nscd crashes upon sudo when hosts caching is enabled (NIS, NFS) Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: We use nscd in our diskless clients, but we've found regular evidence of crashes in our dmesg output, and I've been able to easily reproduce it by running sudo ls while hosts caching is enabled. The debug output when running nscd -d is as follows: Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: handle_request: request received (Version = 2) from PID 3649 Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: GETFDPW Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: provide access to FD 5, for passwd Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: handle_request: request received (Version = 2) from PID 3649 Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: GETFDGR Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: provide access to FD 7, for group Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: handle_request: request received (Version = 2) from PID 3649 Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: GETFDHST Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: provide access to FD 9, for hosts Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: handle_request: request received (Version = 2) from PID 3649 Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: GETAI (gasolinux) Wed 17 Dec 2014 11:42:48 AM BRST - 3627: Haven't found "gasolinux" in hosts cache! and then it dies.
