Hello
I have a big problem with this new glibc2 "nscd" program. This program
seems to be a cache for the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow:
-=(/home/ch/debian/DOC)# adduser --system mysql
Adding system user mysql...
Adding new user mysql (100) with group nogroup.
Home directory /home/mysql already exists.
-=([EMAIL PROTECTED])=(pts/1)=(22:43:15|23)=-
-=(/home/ch/debian/DOC)# usermod -c ttt mysql
usermod: user mysql does not exist
Some seconds later it would have been worked.
Now what should I do ? I can't use the libc "getuserbyname" functions
that would use the cache. Should I randomly put some sleep calls
into this script ?
I think this could be a problem for many installation scripts....
Any suggestions ?
bye,
-christian-
