Description Jeff Bastian 2009-11-11 22:46:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
sosreport includes /etc/nscd.conf, but it would also be useful to grab the debug logs if nscd is in running with debugging enabled.

Attached is a patch to check if debugging is enabled in /etc/nscd.conf, and if so, include the nscd debug log in the sosreport.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-1.7-9.27.el5.noarch

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable the 'logfile' and increase the 'debug-level' to 9 in /etc/nscd.conf
2. service nscd restart
3. sosreport
  
Actual results:
/etc/nscd.conf is included in the sosreport, but not /var/log/nscd.log

Expected results:
/var/log/nscd.log is included too

patch to include nscd debug logs

Here is an updated patch that puts a size limit of 50 MiB on the log files (similar to syslog).  (If nscd runs with debugging enabled for a week or more, the log files can grow to 100s of MiBs or more.)
