Summary: A Name Service Caching Daemon (nscd)
Description: 
Nscd caches name service lookups and can dramatically improve performance
with NIS+, and may help with DNS as well.  Note that you can't use nscd
with 2.0 kernels because of bugs in the kernel-side thread support.
Unfortunately, nscd happens to hit these bugs particularly hard.
