I am told some systems at work are running nscd, so i wanted to get |
| 2 |
familiar with it on my workstation. I added the nscd use flag and rebuilt |
| 3 |
glibc, and i now have it running. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
In nsswitch.conf have tried both; |
| 6 |
hosts: files dns |
| 7 |
hosts: cache files dns |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
And neither activate the caching. The "cache" option does not appear in |
| 10 |
nsswitch.conf's man page, but was referenced online. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
nscd -g reports; |
| 13 |
hosts cache: |
| 14 |
yes cache is enabled |
| 15 |
no cache is persistent |
| 16 |
no cache is shared |
| 17 |
211 suggested size |
| 18 |
216064 total data pool size |
| 19 |
0 used data pool size |

3600 seconds time to live for positive entries |
| 21 |
20 seconds time to live for negative entries |
| 22 |
0 cache hits on positive entries |
| 23 |
0 cache hits on negative entries |
| 24 |
1 cache misses on positive entries |
| 25 |
0 cache misses on negative entries |
| 26 |
0% cache hit rate |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
But i see from packet captures that a new request is sent to the dns server |
| 29 |
each time, and nscd -i hosts is always empty. stracing nscd shows that its |
| 30 |
not processing anything. How do i get it to intercept the name requests? |
| 31 |
FWIW, im running systemd. |
