-[21] The nscd program and the stubs in the libc should be changed so
-     that each program uses only one socket connect.  Take a look at

-     An alternative approach is to use an mmap()ed file.  The idea is
-     the following:
-     - the nscd creates the hash tables and the information it stores
-       in it in a mmap()ed region.  This means no pointers must be
-       used, only offsets.
-     OR
-       if POSIX shared memory is available use a named shared memory
-       region to put the data in
-     - each program using NSS functionality tries to open the file
-       with the data.
-     - by checking some timestamp (which the nscd renews frequently)
-       the programs can test whether the file is still valid
-     - if the file is valid look through the nscd and locate the
-       appropriate hash table for the database and lookup the data.
-       If it is included we are set.
-     - if the data is not yet in the database we contact the nscd using
-       the currently implemented methods.

-[25] Sun's nscd version implements a feature where the nscd keeps N entries
-     for each database current.  I.e., if an entries lifespan is over and
-     it is one of the N entries to be kept the nscd updates the information
-     instead of removing the entry.

-     How to decide about which N entries to keep has to be examined.

-     Just imagine a computer used by several people.  The IDs of the current

-[27] We need a second test suite with tests which cannot run during a normal
-     `make check' run.  This test suite can require root priviledges and
-     can test things like DNS (i.e., require network access),
-     user-interaction, networking in general, and probably many other things.
