Package: nscd Version: 2.24-11+deb9u3 If I change nscd.conf (to adjust some ttl or to disable some cache) and restart the service, then the cache files in /var/cache/nscd are not adjusted accordingly, AFIACS. In worst case the passwd cache is kept forever and never adjusted, even though it has been disabled in nscd.conf. nscd's caches should be deleted or recreated at service start or restart, as applicable.
