Bug#628092: cannot connect to /var/run/nscd/socket
Florent Angebault
Version: 0.47-2
Severity: normal
Actually the socket /var/run/nscd/socket is created each time unscd is restarted.
Since I couldn't get rid of this message I reverted to nscd.
Then, when I read your answer I reinstalled unscd.
And I can't explain why, but I didn't see this message anymore when adding a user
to a group (but there is a lot of debug messages as described in #622230).
pitchum@belgarion:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo adduser pitchum staff
Adding user `pitchum' to group `staff' ...
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting
Adding user pitchum to group staff
sent invalidate(passwd) request, exiting
sent invalidate(group) request, exiting

Done.
However the error message still shows up when I restart the service:
pitchum@belgarion:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo service unscd restart

cannot connect to /var/run/nscd/socket

Yes, because that's how services using libnss connect to the caching
daemon. If you don't have that socket, there's no point.

We must realize that today's Establishment is the New George III.
Whether it will continue to adhere to his tactics, we do not know. If
it does, the redress, honored in tradition, is also revolution.
