Bug Description

nscd (Name Service Caching Daemon) doesn't start because it misses some directories.

When trying to start nscd (Ubuntu Breezy) it gives the following in the syslog:
Nov 19 20:35:26 ubuntu nscd: 26295 /var/run/nscd/nscd.pid: No such file or directory
Nov 19 20:35:26 ubuntu nscd: 26295 cannot create /var/db/nscd/passwd; no persistent database used
