What Sarah did is stop nscd, then did an id lookup while nscd is
stopped. It is certainly a valid test.
The problem is that a stop/start does not invalidate the nscd cache -
a simple "nscd -i passwd ; nscd -i group" will do that without a
service reload.
Ah -- didn't know this one! Thank you, Sam..
