	IMO, nscd is one of the most vile creations ever perpetrated upon 
the Internet.

	One of the very first things I ever do on any Sun machine I have 
administrative responsibility for is:

		# find / -name \*nscd\* -exec rm -f {} \;

so that it can't possibly be started up by accident by a stupid but 
perhaps well-meaning script, etc....
