I was working on an issue caused by SELinux policy relating to nscd when using TLS encrypted LDAP for authentication & user information. During my testing, I had to stop nscd and "rm /var/db/nscd/*" (which only has group, hosts & passwd) and then restart nscd, in order to clear the cache. Is there some mystery switch to do this that I'm missing? -- Lamont R. Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Senior Instructor Guru Labs, L.C. [ http://www.GuruLabs.com/ ]
