Caching security-relevant data 'en masse' is usually a not-so-good idea, and should be considered very carefully. Even for Linux, common recommendation is to disable nscd to improve security and reliability of the accounting data. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 13.02.2014, <15:36> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
