Description Raphaël Droz 2011-08-22 12:06:59 UTC

If you want a persistent DB for, eg, hosts, then nscd will create /var/db/nscd/<db-name> at startup but expect /var/db/nscd to exist.

Attached is a sample patch which grep && mkdir.
Should be noted that the case where both "server-user" and "persistent" are setup has not been tested; in such a case install -o <user> may be needed.


Reproducible: Always
