        This is an interesting idea. One could patch nscd so that it
caches sequential walk in addition to lookups. At present nscd does not
do this. When a sequential walk (setgrent/getgrent) is done, nscd leaves
it to the corresponding nsswitch module. I double checked that to be
sure ;-)

        Note that the cache I implemented is solely used in the case
of a sequential walk. It is not used for any other purpose.

        Cheers,
