Hi,
thank you.
Looking for more information, I get this:
# service nscd status
nscd is stopped
# service sssd status
sssd is stopped
# service winbind status
winbindd is stopped
:-(
Is there any hope?
TIA

NSCD which comes with GLIBC is a common cache, otherwise SSSD or WINBIND are also commonly used. Restarting your cache should help.
