Everyone I have talked to has said that the feature I am speaking about does not yet exist. This is why I made this entry in Bugzilla. Also, I never claimed this to be a bug -- it is a feature request and has always been classified as such. In my defense, the "reload-count" feature was not documented. Though the "reload-count" parameter is not what I am looking for, I properly reported this (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177368) and now it is fixed in Fedora Raw Hide's man-pages package. So I am here to help, and would appreciate the respect I am due. The ability to cache NSS data so that laptops may operate for an extended period of time away from their LDAP server is an important feature that is not yet satisfactorily present in Linux-based systems. Several people (including some who are employed by Red Hat like Ulrich) believe that nscd is the correct place to address this deficiency. After looking at a few options (see original comment), I also hold this opinion. So, I would like to ask that this feature request remains open until: 1. Someone presents a better alternative after demonstrating why nscd is not the proper place to address this issue. - or - 2. Nscd supports this feature. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WONTFIX | http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2132 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
