Hello, I checked into it - the /etc/nscd.conf has times between 10 and 3600 - I assume seconds which would be up to one hour and it's way beyond that by now. I killed the nscd - tried it again - still same result. Also - I rebooted the disk several times - which should flush the nscd out within that timeframe. I still strongly suspect it is PAM taking it's info from a place it should not or the place should be updated.. thanks anyway, Samartha At 05:08 PM 6/29/00 +0200, you wrote:

Each cache has a separate TTL [...]
