Unless nscd-per-zone is configured via txzonemgr, there is one nscd running in the global zone and the labeled zones use a door to call to it. >From "man nscd" on s10u6: The shadow file is specifically not cached. getspnam(3C) calls remain uncached as a result. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Jan Parcel, Sustaining, Trusted OE Internal Trusted Support Pages: http://trusted.sfbay
