Bug#541492: nscd: Missing init.d dependency on $syslog



Package:  nscd
Version:  2.3.5-8
Severity: important
Tags:     patch
User:     initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: incorrect-dependency

With dependency based boot sequencing, I discovered what I believe is
a slight bug in the init.d script. The dependencies are not correct.
The daemon seem to log to syslog, and thus should depend on $syslog.
This will make nscd start before the syslog implementation, and the
first syslog messages logged might be lost.

This patch should solve the issue.  Without it, the init.d will start
to early in the boot sequence.
