Bug#370187: nscd restart fails with: option `--invalidate' requires an argument

[Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.6-13
Severity: normal


When trying to restart nscd I see the following error:

# /etc/init.d/nscd restart
Restarting Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd/usr/sbin/nscd: option `--invalidate' requires an argument
Try `nscd --help' or `nscd --usage' for more information.
 (failed to stop).

Looking at the man page for nscd, it looks like --invalidate needs to
take an argument:

-i, --invalidate TABLE
	Invalidate the specified TABLE, i. e. forget all data cached
	therein. This should be used if the database storing this infor-
	mation has been changed.
