Hi,

I thought so to but even if I turned nscd off I still have the same issue.

[root@xxxx ~]# /etc/init.d/nscd stop
Stopping nscd:                                             [  OK  ]
[root@xxxx ~]# getent passwd | wc -l
1038
[root@xxxx ~]# getent passwd | wc -l
1624
[root@xxxx ~]# getent passwd | wc -l
1038

The longer list of users (1624) only returns 1 time in what it seams at random times.

/Jocke

Probably nscd is running and caching requests for some period.
