[Bug nscd/489] nscd problem with multiple passwd databases


------- Additional Comments From nneul at umr dot edu  2005-03-18 14:28 -------
I am also seeing this behavior with the simple case of multiple uid=0 users in
the passwd file. nss calls should behave the same regardless of whether or not
nscd is running. This is not currently the case. 

I believe that the reason for the failure is fairly simple, and would be happy
to write a patch to address it:

nscd is allowing a getpwuid() call to affect the caches for getpwnam() calls,
and vice versa. Split that apart, and the problem will be fixed.

I would like to see this re-opened and addressed. Would you accept a patch that
does what I've described?
