Description Ivan Todoroski 2005-02-13 15:39:58 UTC 
Running groupadd/usermod to add/change groups failed with "Broken pipe. Using strace, looks like groupadd/usermod is trying to write to the nscd socket (/var/run/nscd/socket) and failing with a SIGPIPE signal.

As a workaround, if you shutdown nscd (/etc/init.d/nscd stop) before this, everything works fine.

These utils are doing the right thing, they try to inform nscd to refresh its cache, but looks like the socket is closed and nscd not listening on the other side for some reason?
