That is by design. The only way for having these files not be mapped anymore is to stop nscd and restart the applications. Hence, what you'd need to do is split the remount-readonly step into two steps: part1.sh: killall5 -15 # at this point nscd should be gone already, due to the services being # stopped and the killalls sync exec part2.sh part2.sh mount -no remount,ro / The exec replaces the current shell (that still has /var/run/nscd/passwd mmapped) with a new one that hasn't anymore. Or we can ignore this strangeness. unscd is supposed to fully replace nscd in the future (or an even more advanced daemon), so that might not be the worst option.
