The upstream glibc community has been working hard to rectify these issues, and Red Hat in particular spent a lot of time making the netgroup caching as bullet-proof as possible. If you have real bugs, please file them upstream and come talk to the community. > Btw, if anyone thinks this is something that libnss-ldapd does wrong, > please let me know.

Again, if you find something wrong, please file a bug. The upstream glibc community is radically different now and certainly more accepting of discussions on these issues. Cheers, Carlos.
