nscd seems to be a bit to noisy.  It spits too many messages into the
syslog file.  The amount can be determined by anybody contacting the
nscd.  This could probably be used for some kind of DoS attack.

I'll check in soon a patch to make these messages go away.  Please
look at the patch and complain if you think this is wrong.
