All one should need to do is invalidate the password and group caches in
the event some attribute has been removed or changed and nscd doesn't
pick up on it properly, or the more likely scenario that nscd's negative
cache is being hit. One can invalidate applicable caches in this
instance via:
# /usr/sbin/nscd -i passwd
# /usr/sbin/nscd -i group
This will invalidate and throw out both the positive and negative
caches for the passwd and group name services.
Note: shadow is not, by design, cached.
