It is highly recommended to install nscd in order to get good performance out of libnss-afs.
apt-get install nscd
We prefer to run nscd as a runit service so that it does not go down (except on deleuze, where it must be started strictly after AFS in the boot sequence).
apt-get install runit mkdir /etc/service/nscd cat <<EOF > /etc/service/nscd/run #!/bin/sh exec nscd -d EOF mkdir /etc/service/nscd/log cat <<EOF > /etc/service/nscd/log/run #!/bin/bash svlogd -tt /var/log/nscd/ EOF mkdir /var/log/nscd chmod +x /etc/service/nscd/log/run chmod +x /etc/service/nscd/run dpkg-divert --rename /etc/init.d/nscd ln -s /usr/bin/sv /etc/init.d/nscd
