| Name: nscd | Distribution: Red Hat Linux |
| Version: 2.1.3 | Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. |
| Release: 29 | Build date: Wed Mar 5 22:58:36 2003 |
| Group: System Environment/Daemons | Build host: daffy.perf.redhat.com |
| Size: 35202 | Source RPM: glibc-2.1.3-29.src.rpm |
| Packager: Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> | |
| Summary: A Name Service Caching Daemon (nscd). | |
Nscd caches name service lookups and can dramatically improve performance with NIS+, and may help with DNS as well. Note that you can't use nscd with 2.0 kernels because of bugs in the kernel-side thread support. Unfortunately, nscd happens to hit these bugs particularly hard. Install nscd if you need a name service lookup caching daemon, and you're not using a version 2.0 kernel.
