nscd-2.5.10 keeps dying
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:33 EDT
Description of problem: Running nscd @boot. Every time I check, nscd is dead. If I start it manually it seems to run OK. I am also running networkmanager. Is there some interaction? There are no log messages in /var/log/{messages,dmesg} about nscd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I certainly can't reproduce this, nscd works just fine on all my x86_64 FC6 machines. Are you sure /etc/rc.d/rcX.d/S30nscd is present for your default runlevel X? If e.g. nscd crashed, on x86_64 you'd have a message about it in /var/log/messages.
/sbin/chkconfig nscd --list nscd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
I saw it starting on boot. My WAG is that NetworkManager is stopping it.
Either you provide evidence that nscd is indeed dying as you claim or you take this elsewhere and complain about NetworkManager or whatever other package. There are no known problems like this in nscd.
