Here is what I get:

connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

 

Under debian, there is a separate package "nscd" with the following description:

Package: nscd

Source: eglibc

Description-en: Embedded GNU C Library: Name Service Cache Daemon

A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups

for running programs and caches the results for the next

query. You should install this package only if you use

slow services like LDAP, NIS or NIS+.

 

I am running neither LDAP nor NIS*, so it is not installed.
