Comment # 2 on bug 1069470 from Freek de Kruijf

The error messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log also show DENIED for files
/var/lib/nscd/passwd, /var/lib/nscd/group, /var/lib/nscd/services, and
/var/lib/nscd/netgroup
These files do not exist, which may explain this.
Strange fact, they are present in nscd package.
# rpm -ql nscd
/etc/nscd.conf
/run/nscd
/run/nscd/nscd.pid
/run/nscd/socket
/usr/lib/systemd/system/nscd.service
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nscd.conf
/usr/sbin/nscd
/usr/sbin/rcnscd
/var/lib/nscd
/var/lib/nscd/group
/var/lib/nscd/hosts
/var/lib/nscd/netgroup
/var/lib/nscd/passwd
/var/lib/nscd/services
Forcing nscd to be installed again does not create the files.
