I think newer versions of livecd-tools fixes this by turning off nscd 
before building the livecd image and then turning it back on when the 
creation is done.

See the following BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481796

The bz isn't clear on which version of livecd-tools does the nscd 
stop/start hack.
