Description

Installs and configures nscd.

Requirements

Platform:

• Debian/Ubuntu
• RHEL/CentOS
• SmartOS

Recipes

default

Installs nscd, manages the nscd service and makes available commands
to clear the nscd databases (passwd and group) so they can be notified
in other recipes (such as when managing openldap).

Usage

If you're using nscd, add this recipe. If you need to notify the clear
commands, e.g.,

cookbook_file "/etc/nsswitch.conf" do
  source "nsswitch.conf"
  notifies :run, "execute[nscd-clear-passwd]", :immediately
  notifies :run, "execute[nscd-clear-group]", :immediately
end
