Doug Kehn 1fe81f079b package/unscd: new package
A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for running
programs and caches the results for the next query. This package is
intended to replace glibc nscd. Presently, glibc nscd is not installed
by Buildroot.

unscd depends on glibc because it relies on glibc function
__nss_disable_nscd.

nscd.conf is taken from glibc with unused configurations removed.

Micro Name Service Caching Daemon
A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups for
running programs and caches the results for the next query.
You only need this package if you are using slow Name Services
like LDAP, NIS or NIS+.
This particular NSCD is a complete rewrite of the GNU glibc
nscd which is a single threaded server process which offloads
all NSS lookups to worker children; cache hits are handled by
the parent, and only cache misses start worker children,
making the parent immune to resource leaks, hangs, and crashes
in NSS libraries.
It should mostly be a drop-in replacement for existing
installs using nscd.
