Jeffery,
It can be beneficial if your name server has capacity problems leading
to high latency. Given your environment you could make a quick mod to
/etc/nscd.conf and disable passwd and group caching and run nscd with just
host caching which can provide speed increases with lots of repeatative
lookups (ie. graphics intensive web pages) but in general I run with nscd
off in non-enterprise environments particularly when I've got a fast name
server nearby.
Regards,
Stephen
