[Fwd: constant lookups causing a lot of load]

[John Beamon <jbeamon@franklinamerican.com>]

Given that I have all Linux servers, they share identical system 
accounts.  All my boxes have "nobody" and "sys" and "daemon" on the 
local /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, and my nsswitch.conf searches 
files first for passwd and shadow, ldap first for group.  I just don't 
put system accounts in ldap.

I'm running a fairly busy webserver that's authenticating over ldap to
another server.  I'm getting constant lookups on the 'nobody' group that
the webserver is running as and I'm not sure why nscd isn't caching it or
why it's even happening.

Any suggestions?  It's causing a fair amount of load.

Thanks
