FWIW, BIND == Berkeley Internet Name Daemon (or something similar) and is
the most widely used DNS implementation.
From the man page for nscd:
Nscd is a daemon that provides a cache for the most common name
service requests.
<p>Therefore, to answer your questions below:
a) What's it supposed to do?
It's supposed to provide a cache for the most common name service
requests.
b) Does it add value to your system?
It caches DNS info, making lookups somewhat faster. Does that add
value to your system? Only you can decide. IMHO, though, it's a good thing.
HTH,

Hello,
Suse comes with a cute, undocumented (?) program called nscd -- name
service cache daemon. This is nothing to do with bind/caching only DNS
as far as I can see.
Does anyone know
a)What it is supposed to do
b)Does it add value to my system ?
Thanks
Cliff
