With all due respect, I am not trying "to get free support for [my] non-
existing knowledge." Everyone I have talked to has said that the feature I am
speaking about does not yet exist. This is why I made this entry in
Bugzilla. Also, I never claimed this to be a bug -- it is a feature request
and has always been classified as such.
In my defense, the "reload-count" feature was not documented. Though
the "reload-count" parameter is not what I am looking for, I properly reported
this (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177368) and
now it is fixed in Fedora Raw Hide's man-pages package. So I am here to help,
and would appreciate the respect I am due.
The ability to cache NSS data so that laptops may operate for an extended
period of time away from their LDAP server is an important feature that is not
yet satisfactorily present in Linux-based systems. Several people (including
some who are employed by Red Hat like Ulrich) believe that nscd is the correct
place to address this deficiency. After looking at a few options (see
original comment), I also hold this opinion.
So, I would like to ask that this feature request remains open until:
1. Someone presents a better alternative after demonstrating why nscd is not
the proper place to address this issue.
- or -
2. Nscd supports this feature.
