Hi Dave.
nscd is part of the glibc and provides a name service cache. Here the head
output of a simple man nscd:
nscd(8) nscd(8)
NAME
/usr/sbin/nscd - name service cache daemon
DESCRIPTION
Nscd is a daemon that provides a cache for the most common
name service requests. The default configuration file,
/etc/nscd.conf, determines the behavior of the cache dae-
mon. See nscd.conf(5).
Read ya, Phil
