NSCD(8) Linux Programmer's Manual NSCD(8)
NAME
/usr/sbin/nscd - name service cache daemon
DESCRIPTION
Nscd is a daemon that provides a cache for the most common name service requests. The default configuration file, /etc/nscd.conf, deter-
mines the behavior of the cache daemon. See nscd.conf(5).
Nscd provides caching for accesses of the passwd(5), group(5), and hosts(5) databases through standard libc interfaces, such as getpw-
nam(3), getpwuid(3), getgrnam(3), getgrgid(3), gethostbyname(3), and others.
There are two caches for each database: a positive one for items found, and a negative one for items not found. Each cache has a separate
TTL (time-to-live) period for its data. Note that the shadow file is specifically not cached. getspnam(3) calls remain uncached as a
result.
OPTIONS
--help will give you a list with all options and what they do.
NOTES
The daemon will try to watch for changes in configuration files appropriate for each database (e.g. /etc/passwd for the passwd database or
/etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf for the hosts database), and flush the cache when these are changed. However, this will happen only after
a short delay (unless the inotify(7) mechanism is available and glibc 2.9 or later is available), and this auto-detection does not cover
configuration files required by nonstandard NSS modules, if any are specified in /etc/nsswitch.conf. In that case, you need to run the
following command after changing the configuration file of the database so that nscd invalidates its cache:
$ nscd -i <database>
