Hi Chris,

Our cluster nodes (running CentOS) have this nscd config: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- enable-cache passwd yes enable-cache group yes enable-cache hosts no enable-cache netgroup no --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So while we don’t rely on caching per se, nscd needs to be configured to cache passwd and group so that it actually fetches this type of information from the system directories (e.g. LDAP). Sorry for the confusion! -- Ricardo
