sorry about the PM

I actually do that on one server (every hour though) but generally this isn't necessary unless you are doing something that goes undetected by nscd.

That said, it's easy enough to discover if nscd is the problem just by turning it off and seeing if the conditions ('I have no name' after login but that also means you should probably log off and log back on again).
