gnscd: a caching daemon for name services.
Review:
If you're looking for a name service caching daemon to replace nscd, gnscd might be worth trying. This software has been rewritten with different networking and database code and offers implementation for both glibc235 and glibc232 nscd protocols in a single daemon. Plus, it's designed to share one cache, making it more efficient.
One nice feature is the -g option, which allows you to display basic information on daemon status. This option is useful for compatibility with GNU nscd and for watchdog scripts. If you want to print debugging information about what's going on inside gnscd, you can use the -d option. This option also prevents the software from daemonizing.
