Bug#362966: nscd aborts
Hello,
this bug still resists in current version of nscd (2.3.6.ds1-13).
We are using libnss-ldap (251-7.4) with about
10000 users in our Directory (openLDAP). Unfortunately,
we cannot figure out, why nscd aborts with following message
18864: Reloading "102" in password cache!
18864: Reloading "33" in password cache!
18864: Reloading "<username>" in password cache!
nscd: cache.c:144: cache_add: Assertion `newp->key + newp->len <=
table->head->first_free' failed.
After the first occurence of this fault, a restart of nscd does not really
solve the problem, because nscd aborts with same error message
again after a few minutes. The only workarround is to delete the cache DBs in
/var/db/nscd/* before starting nscd again. However, one can only hope that the
process will work the next 24 hours.
Any hints?
Kind regards
Andreas
