1. proposed changes:
-> have nis recommend the nscd package
2. rational/benefits:
-> ensure enterprise users with NIS, experience good performance through processes not getting frequently blocked (also causing context switches) for short periods (the order of 5-15ms, and causing unnecessary network and NIS server load
(ie why perform expensive I/O, when the result is available in a shared memory segment?)
