A PID file is created by unscd in /var/run/nscd/ when it is started.
The PID file is deleted when unscd is stopped; however, the
/var/run/nscd/ directory remains.
unscd can be started in debug mode (a.k.a foreground, -d option). In
doing so, PID file creation could be done in the init script as
requested. The problem I see here is that unscd logs to stderr when
started in debug mode.
Do you still prefer a patch for PID file creation in the init
script?
Thanks,
