Hi all, I want to implement nscd in a lot of servers which has diferents releseases of 6.x and 7.x branches. No problem with 7.x branches: nscd seems part of the system now: # whereis nscd && uname -r nscd: /usr/sbin/nscd /usr/share/man/man8/nscd.8.gz /usr/src/usr.sbin/nscd 7.0-RELEASE-p4 But not appears in 6.2: # whereis nscd && uname -r nscd: 6.2-RELEASE-p11 or 6.3 # whereis nscd && uname -r nscd: 6.3-RELEASE-p3 Moreover I've updated the src of one 6.3 to see if this it was included in 6.4 sources but also it's not there: # grep nscd /usr/src/sbin/ ?Can I use nscd in 6.x branch? ?Is there some 'alternative'? I've read about "cached" but I don't find anywhere in 6.3 (for example); the only one reference I've found is the port /usr/ports/databases/memcached, but I think it's not nscd-related at all. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

You may be able to backport it from 7.x to 6.x, I have no idea how easy this would be though. Gavin
