The nscd (name service cache daemon) caches name service information
when it's looked up, so that the next time the information (which is
typically a request by an application for information about a user
like her home directory or shell, or the address of a host on the
network) is requested, it can be pulled from the cache, which is much
faster than going over a network.
You can shut it down using the init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd),
and disable it entirely by removing the "nscd" package or by running
"/sbin/chkconfig nscd off".
