I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has noticed this odd behaviour of nscd. Shame on me for not speaking up sooner, but I feared I might be proved wrong (again), and yes, that's a lame excuse. :-/ > If I am installing ports which create a new user or group I have to > restart nscd.

After bulk loading ~250 students into our LDAP (Novell eDirectory) each fall, and deleting the graduated students, I restart nscd on our servers just to make sure the caches doesn't contain any negative results. Maybe I should set up a cron job to restart nscd once a day until the source code is cleaned up.
