Re: [389-users] nscd sometimes gets "stuck"

Yes, nscd is both a blessing and a curse...we've found the default settings for it be problematic.

Check your nscd.conf file and `man nscd.conf`.  Pay special attention to these values:

    paranoia         yes

    positive-time-to-live   passwd      120
    negative-time-to-live   passwd      2
    persistent       passwd      no

    positive-time-to-live   group       120
    negative-time-to-live   group       2
    persistent       group       no

I'm testing the 389 directory server in our lab environment before

let me log in.  I have to restart the nscd service before it will
authenticate my user.  Here's the error in /var/log/secure:

Mar 22 09:59:31 watcher sshd[18109]: pam_unix(sshd:auth):
authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser=

Mar 22 09:59:31 watcher sshd[18109]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as
user "uid=scarolan,ou=People, dc=companyname, dc=com" (Invalid
credentials)

Has anyone else experienced something like this?  Any idea what causes
it?  I want to make sure our LDAP authentication is rock-solid
reliable before moving it into the production environment.
