I think you're mixing 2 different things there. nscd is integrated with nsswitch and allows you to cache different kinds of system data (groups, users, etc). IIRC utilities like memcached and redis lack this integration and I don't know any way of hooking them into nsswitch. They're actually just caching backends and you need additional code to make them work with nsswitch. Cheers, Michael > > -- > Sean M.
