Re: [webmin-l] error in documentation ???

You were absolutely right !!
I turned off nscd and everything is OK
Moreover, if I create an user, delete it, and try to recreate it, if nscd
is on it tells me: user already exists...
If I turn off nscd, the user is created again.
Last summer (2005) I fought a lot with Linux Samba server integration in
A.D. environments, via winbind and pam.
After several days (very bad days...) I found the solution was simply to
turn off nscd... (now I see it is very well documented on Samba
documentation...)
Now the question is : "But what is this Name Service Caching Daemon ??????
"
It seems to me bad for almost anything !!!!!
I think it must be very important, because it is installed (and started) by
default in all suse box... but what is supposed to be its function ???

That is very odd.
Try turning off the nscd process, which caches the password file. You can
do
this in Webmin's Bootup and Shutdown module.
