Re: Seeking clarification for nscd invalidation



Hi Carlos,

thank you for commenting.

I am one of the adduser maintainers in Debian and we would like to ditch
the parts of our code that invalidate nscd explicitly in one of the
future versions of the software.

I regret to say that I don't use nscd in any of my installations. My
last superficial contact to nscd was like two decades ago.

Would it help with an educated guess to install nscd, let it run in
--debug mode, run our test suite and compare nscd's output with the
output it generates running our test suite without the explicit
invalidation?

Greetings
Marc
