user name caching

[ViS_2]

Hi!
Is there any cachig mechanism to cache users' names (and maybe something else?) in hpux like nscd in solaris.
I get strange behaviour with my hpux 11.0/11.11 NIS client when I add or remove user in NIS server, some delay appear between adding/removing a user and his ability to login.

A restart of the pwgrd will help to speed this up.

HI,

I think you are looking for:

/usr/sbin/pwgrd

check man pwgrd.

Hi

Perhaps you could have a look to 'man pwgrd' and check if this daemon is running on your system.

Exactly!
Thanks.

Just for the benefit of those searching threads later, a different but somewhat related issue related to password changes and caching is addressed in login patch PHCO_19292 (with subsequent corrections in later login patches).
