Package: nscd Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NSCD crashes after only a short amount of usage on my production web server. I turned the "debug-level" up to 100 (I have no idea what is a good number, the man page for nscd.conf does not document it) but I get no useful debug messages about why it is aborting, it just silently exits.
I tried running "nscd -d" under strace, and I got this output, which indicates an assertion trying to clean up it's cache: ---(snip!)--- epoll_wait(10, 9085: Reloading "0" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" in hosts cache! 9085: Reloading "120" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "1" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "110" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "1001" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "38" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "111" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "112" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "104" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "debbugs" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "105" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "106" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "pogma" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "115" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "107" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "33" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "116" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "108" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "13" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "9" in password cache! 9085: Reloading "drm" in password cache! 9085: remove GETPWBYUID entry "101" 9085: remove GETPWBYNAME entry "sshd" 9085: remove GETPWBYNAME entry "nobody" 9085: remove GETPWBYUID entry "65534" 9085: freed 352 bytes in passwd cache 9085: add new entry "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" of type GETAI for hosts to cache (first) 9085: Reloading "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" in hosts cache! 9085: add new entry "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" of type GETAI for hosts to cache (first) 9085: Reloading "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" in hosts cache! 9085: add new entry "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" of type GETAI for hosts to cache (first) 9085: Reloading "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" in hosts cache! 9085: add new entry "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" of type GETAI for hosts to cache (first) 9085: Reloading "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" in hosts cache! 9085: add new entry "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" of type GETAI for hosts to cache (first) 9085: Reloading "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" in hosts cache! 9085: add new entry "0.debian.pool.ntp.org" of type GETAI for hosts to cache (first) nscd: cache.c:335: prune_cache: Assertion `dh->usable' failed. bfe025b0, 100, 29988) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) +++ killed by SIGABRT +++ Process 9085 detached ---(snip!)--- If I change the "persistent <entry> yes" to "no", it appears to run fine, so it appears there's a problem with the handling of the on-disk cache. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
