Description Nick Bowler 2012-08-18 17:38:38 UTC
After upgrading to the recently-stabilised glibc-2.15-r2, nscd no longer
starts.  Running

  /etc/init.d/nscd start

shows no errors, but the daemon is not started and rc-status displays
"crashed".  Looking at the init script in /etc/init.d/nscd, I see:

  start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \
    --exec /usr/sbin/nscd --pidfile ${pidfile} \
    -- --foreground $secure

so I tried running that directly:

  % nscd --foreground
  nscd: unrecognized option '--foreground'
  Try `nscd --help' or `nscd --usage' for more information.

Curiously, my ~arch machine has exactly the same version of glibc
installed, but the init script is different on that one (it does not
contain the --foreground option) and nscd starts successfully there...

Comment 1 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) gentoo-dev 2012-08-18 21:01:06 UTC
Also, is the --quiet for start/stop really necessary?
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-18 23:14:27 UTC
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
