Comment 6 for bug 47904

I think the following may be a related symptom.

I notice that the error "/usr/sbin/nscd: option `--invalidate' requires an argument" appears every time I run "/etc/init.d/nscd restart". I took a look at the man page for nscd, but could not figure out what kind of argument it was expecting after the "--invalidate" argument in /etc/init.d/nscd, line 89. As a temporary fix, I edited that file to give it the "all" argument, and that made things continue smoothly.

This error has happened ever since I installed edgy 2 days ago, so I don't think it's due to upgrading.
