[Bug 423252] Re: NSS using LDAP+SSL breaks setuid applications like su, sudo, apache2 suexec, and atd

[Howard Chu]

Forcing use of nscd is a non-starter at many sites. Aside from cache
staleness issues, and nscd's well known instability, there's also the
issue that nscd doesn't intercept get*ent enumerations so things will
still crash depending on which nsswitch functions an app calls.

It would make sense to use nettle on the newer releases that support it,
but keep the patch in place otherwise.
