I've received two responses. According to these responses one reason for nscd crashing is a emtpy gecos field. According to the same responses the problems with nscd have been solved with solaris 8 02/02. Concerning the problem with LDAP, it seems that it is a known bug but unfortunately will be solved in solaris 9.

We have inserted the following into /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files ldap [TRYAGAIN=2] group: files ldap [TRYAGAIN=2] We have observed that in case the LDAP server is down we are unable to login to the machine. Furthermore, any use of commands that uses "getpwent" hangs since the LDAP is not available. Even when the LDAP server is up, nscd is dying periodically which in turn increases the load of the system. Has anybody observed tha same behavior ? Any workarounds/fixes would be appreciated.
