Bug#707717: nscd hangs, block whole network stack

["Ph. Marek" <philipp.marek@linbit.com>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.17-1
Severity: normal

When I resume my notebook (from s2ram), NetworkManager tries to re-establish
wifi connections.

I noticed that (since upgrading to the new testing) this takes _much_ longer
than before; looking around a bit shows that NetworkManager calls
"/usr/sbin/nscd -i hosts"; this waits on (the only) socket 3, which I guess is
connected to nscd. This makes knetwork etc. hang, too.

Restarting nscd seems to hang, too; killing and starting again helps.

Perhaps this is related to 592850 or 550840?


Thanks a lot.
