Hi,

Original problem was the nscd daemon bleeding 
memory at a rate of knots.

Got a workaround courtesy Andy Harrison of SUN Tech 
Support.

"

This could be related to bug 4660789 / 4407409 (RBAC 
related) fixed in Solaris 9. A workaround is to disable 
the exec_attr cache by adding the following line 
to /etc/nscd.conf and then restart nscd:

enable-cache 	exec_attr	no

"

I've tested the fix and on a machine with nscd starting 
around 130Mb and growing it has remained consistently 
around the 3Mb mark after restart.

Cheers

Joe
