Description Edgar Hoch 2013-05-08 00:05:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Script /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions contains a function change_resolv_conf which contains the line

[ -e /var/lock/subsys/nscd ] && /usr/sbin/nscd -i hosts; # invalidate cache

But it seems that file /var/lock/subsys/nscd which does not exist, even if nscd running. So this test never succeeds even and the nscd cache will not invalidated.

The script should use another method to test if nscd is running.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.42.2-3.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check if nscd is running. If not, start nscd.
2. Check if file /var/lock/subsys/nscd exist.
  
Actual results:
File /var/lock/subsys/nscd does not exist.

Expected results:
It is ok that file /var/lock/subsys/nscd does not exist.
But the script should use another methode for to test if nscd is running.

Probably we can check existence of /var/run/nscd/socket
