Hi,
today we were hit by a bug in nscd.
After the update to glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.4 nscd did not work with selinux in
enforcing mode.
getent passwd loginname return an empty result, also login for user did not work.
workarounds are:
a) stop nscd
b) switch selinux into permissive mode
stop nscd
delete nscd cache files
start nscd again
This is reported as Bug #841752

Sincerly,
Klaus
