SUMMARY UPDATE :nscd abnormal memory usage

Hi,

Original problem was the nscd daemon bleeding
memory at a rate of knots.

Got a workaround courtesy Andy Harrison of SUN Tech
Support.

"

This could be related to bug 4660789 / 4407409 (RBAC
related) fixed in Solaris 9. A workaround is to disable
the exec_attr cache by adding the following line
to /etc/nscd.conf and then restart nscd:

enable-cache exec_attr no

"

I've tested the fix and on a machine with nscd starting
around 130Mb and growing it has remained consistently
around the 3Mb mark after restart.

Cheers

Joe
