## Overview
Configures `/etc/nscd.conf` and controls nscd service.
## Examples
Including the class should configure nscd with default OS configuration.
```puppet
include nscd
```
A full set of configurations that can be set.
```puppet
class { 'nscd':
pkg_ensure => 'latest',
service_ensure => true,
service_enable => true,
stat_user => 'nobody',
threads => 10,
max_threads => 22,
paranoia => true,
restart_interval => 100,
debug_level => 5,
reload_count => 20,
logfile => '/var/log/nscd_log.log',
dbconfig => {
'passwd' => {
'enable-cache' => true,
'positive-time-to-live' => 100,
'negative-time-to-live' => 23,
'suggested-size' => 1234567,
'check-files' => true,
'persistent' => true,
'shared' => true,
'max-db-size' => 12345678900,
'auto-propagate' => true,
},
'group' => {
'enable-cache' => true,
'positive-time-to-live' => 100,
'negative-time-to-live' => 23,
'suggested-size' => 1234567,
'check-files' => true,
'persistent' => true,
'shared' => true,
'max-db-size' => 12345678900,
'auto-propagate' => true,
},
'hosts' => {
'enable-cache' => true,
'positive-time-to-live' => 100,
'negative-time-to-live' => 23,
'suggested-size' => 1234567,
'check-files' => true,
'persistent' => true,
'shared' => true,
'max-db-size' => 12345678900,
'auto-propagate' => true,
},
'services' => {
'enable-cache' => true,
'positive-time-to-live' => 100,
'negative-time-to-live' => 23,
'suggested-size' => 1234567,
'check-files' => true,
'persistent' => true,
'shared' => true,
'max-db-size' => 12345678900,
'auto-propagate' => true,
},
'netgroup' => {
'enable-cache' => true,
'positive-time-to-live' => 100,
'negative-time-to-live' => 23,
'suggested-size' => 1234567,
'check-files' => true,
'persistent' => true,
'shared' => true,
'max-db-size' => 12345678900,
'auto-propagate' => true,
},
},
}
```
The only compulsory key per database is `enable-cache`. If
false also subsequent keys for that database will be ignored.
The `dbconfig` parameter is configured with a `lookup_option`
of a deep merge. So particular settings can be appended or overridden
from hiera.
```yaml
nscd::dbconfig:
netgroup:
check-files: false
services:
enable-cache: false
```
