That's right, I forgot that detail.

nscd is the service name and is different from named.

No, nscd is the name service cache daemon, and it is a very different
thing. It is configured via /etc/nscd.conf.

Package bind contains the "named" daemon, which is what we are looking
for.

Hi Carlos,

I've tried 'man' and 'info' and Google... spent probably a half hour now
looking for a succinct, functional description of the differences between
nscd and named, i.e which does what?... to no avail. Would please elaborate a
little?

Thanks!

Carl
