The nscd is a "name service caching daemon" and not an authentication
credentials cache.
man 8 nscd
"Nscd provides caching for accesses of the passwd(5), group(5), and
hosts(5) databases through standard libc interfaces, such as getpwnam(3),
getpwuid(3), getgrnam(3), getgrgid(3), gethostby-name(3), and others."
"Note that the shadow file is specifically not cached. getspnam(3)
calls remain uncached as a result."
