Comment 0 for bug 1068889

Netgroup caching is a rather new feature of nscd. It only entered the eglibc source tree late last year and the first upstream release of nscd to include netgroup caching was on March 21, 2012 [1]. Thus, it's is a feature that is not likely deployed at any significant scale anywhere currently. And so it has poor general test coverage.

We have reports that this feature either segfaults nscd [1] or that even when it doesn't crash, the feature still doesn't work [2].

The "enabled" setting is inherited from upstream, but I think at least for precise, we should default to disabled.
