[K12OSN] Re: Help verify bug....Samba/LDAP users on 4.4

[David Trask]

Latest findings:
You can get the newer version of nscd from fedora-updates-testing (I used
Yum Extender)...that seems to fix the nscd issue as far as the crashes are
concerned, but I found that shutting off nscd made the joining the domain
thing work better....so maybe nscd won't be needed.  I have it off for
now.  I updated it just in case, but then shut it off (not dead...but
off).  So...try those things and see how it works.  My understanding is
that nscd may not be necessary unless you have a large installation....I
only have 600 users, but only 30-40 logged on a once and even then...not
all at once (as in a burst)
