Re: Zombie users in Centos6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



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.
