That is wrong. It caches passwd and group lookups.

It has nothing to do with DNS. And if it is necessary or not depends on from where you get the account/group data.

It also caches hostname lookups. You can disable any of the caches. If you're not running a local DNS server, it's useful to keep the hostname cache alive. If you're using /etc/passwd and /etc/group, you can disable the username and group caching, but if you're using a network login system (like LDAP, NIS, etc) you want it to keep running for performance reasons. Check out the man page for nscd.conf to see how to ocnfigure it. You won't hurt anything by shutting it off, aside from a possible performance hit. --Danny, who uses nscd, as it's a huge gain in an LDAP environment

Not per default.

It is not. The reason why it is disabled per default. Read the configuration file for more information why you should not.

If you want to run samba with winbind auth - kill nscd, kill it hard.

No, the answer must be to use a working winbind version (as far as I heard such a version exist) or try to push the people to fix it.
