Installs nscd, manages the nscd service and makes available commands to clear the nscd databases (passwd and group) so they can be notified in other recipes (such as when managing openldap).

Usage

If you're using nscd, add this recipe. If you need to notify the clear commands, e.g.,

cookbook_file '/etc/nsswitch.conf' do
  source   'nsswitch.conf'
  notifies :run, 'execute[nscd-clear-passwd]', :immediately
  notifies :run, 'execute[nscd-clear-group]', :immediately
end
