Sorry to subvert a thread like this, but has anyone else decided that nscd is pretty much essential for all systems, regardless of nss, or local nameservers? It seems without it there is _no_ dns caching of any kind (except for apps like squid that explicitly have it). If you ping, every single ping packet triggers an nslookup. Even if you have a local caching name server, the UDP traffic on the loopback interface hurts. If you don't have a local dns cache, it really hurts. Is there any reason why nscd should not be installed on a system? -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
