With /etc/nscd.conf you specify a positive and negative time to live
for entries, e.g.:
enable-cache passwd yes
positive-time-to-live passwd 600 # 10 minutes
negative-time-to-live passwd 20 # 20 seconds
You just have to wait those times. nscd is the "name service cache
daemon" and you noticed just the correct behaviour of nscd.
If you don't like this, either don't use nscd, change the time to
live values to suit your needs, or just wait.
