	The only semi-valid purpose for nscd is to cache data from 
NIS/NIS+, which is otherwise inherently non-scalable.

	I have about as much problems with NIS/NIS+ as I do nscd, the 
only reason I hate, loathe, and despise nscd more than I do NIS/NIS+ 
is the fact that nscd affects DNS as well as NIS/NIS+ -- the latter 
can safely be ignored if you're not using it, while the former may 
have undesirable effects if you are not aware of the potential damage 
it may cause.
