I've stumbled upon this while installing postgres. In

again. Before the change, this is how it looked like:

-- cut here --
[r...@vgalu /usr/ports/databases/postgresql84-server]# pw group add pgsql -g 70
pw: group disappeared during update
[r...@vgalu /usr/ports/databases/postgresql84-server]# pw group add pgsql -g 70
pw: group 'pgsql' already exists
[r...@vgalu /usr/ports/databases/postgresql84-server]#
-- and here --

Shouldn't 'files' be used upon a cache miss? If this is a PEBKAC,
sorry for the noise.
Just a me too. This is most likely because nscd is also caching negative
lookups. The usual workaround would be to restart it using
/etc/rc.d/nscd restart


A slightly lower-impact alternative would be to use "nscd -i passwd"
to invalidate the password cache.

I was intending to report this soon as well (its been on my list for a while) as a problematic issue while installing ports. The other issue I had was Java would crash immediately if I had nscd running (configured to cache YP). I plan to report that soon if it still happens with 1.6. I probably tested with 1.4 or 1.5. _______________________________________________
