Package: unscd
Version: 0.47-2
Severity: normal

unscd is more noisy than nscd while invalidating caches. This is specially
notable when using the unix user management tools like useradd and deluser.

Example:

# useradd testuser
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
# userdel testuser
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting

It's the "sent invalidate..." what I mean by saying "noisy".

It doesn't break functionality, but is annoying as it looks a bit like an
error message. Besides it's different behaviour than the original nscd.

The accompanying print statement is on line 2392 of nscd.c.

It would be nice to have this changed in upcoming versions. Thanks!
