Bug#338507: nscd: init script doesn't stop the daemon

[Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.5-6
Severity: normal

The nscd init script (i.e. `nscd -K') doesn't stop the running
daemons.  It just seems to render them useless by removing the socket:

  # pgrep nscd
  # /etc/init.d/nscd start
  Starting Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd.
  # pgrep nscd
  4697
  4698
  4699
  4700
  4701
  4702
  4703
  4704
  # ls -l /var/run/nscd/
  total 4
  -rw-r--r--  1 root root 5 2005-11-10 18:42 nscd.pid
  srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 2005-11-10 18:42 socket
  # /etc/init.d/nscd stop 
  Stopping Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd.
  # pgrep nscd
