Bugzilla – Bug 467393
nscd crashed
Last modified: 2009-01-21 00:35:01 UTC
Unfortunately I don't have much details, and it's on an older system (beta 4, glibc-2.9-2.3), but today (after weekend) no nscd process existed anymore. No log messages in /var/log/messages, except: Jan 19 13:51:22 knuth nscd: 27261 invalid persistent database file "/var/run/nscd/passwd": verification failed But that's when I started it again. I don't know since when it wasn't running anymore. As this bugreport is nearly useless in this state, feel free to close it right away. I just wanted it to not go by unnoticed :)
nscd is known to have instabilities. probably similar to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426679
We have a catch-all bug for current nscd instabilities at bug 387202. Currently, nscd should be much more stable, I'm going to submit an update for 11.1 very soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 387202 ***
