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
