I've had problems with nscd crashing every few days on my CentOS 4 mail server for a while now. The problems started maybe around CentOS 4.2, although I don't remember for sure. My debugging efforts let me to disable nscd's persistent cache, and that seemed to work for a while, but since upgrading to CentOS 4.4, the crashes have started again.

Has anyone seen similar problems with nscd?
Yup, another me-too. Disabling nscd was the only reliable workaround/fix. :(
Thanks for the feedback.
Any suggestions/experience with the system unreliability I'd seen after nscd crashed? Or does that improve if nscd is disabled entirely (instead of enabled but crashed, leaving a socket behind)?
