So,
about nscd I've seen that in our network the netgroup cache is disabled only
on tjener. I fear a little reactivating it, at least during school time.
For libnss unfortunately we cant contribute since after a closer test on
our network we realized that our ISP doesn't allow multicast traffic at all
and the automatic discovery of printers happens only within a single switch/router.
