I have also seen problems with nscd. On a stable FC3 machine with LDAP auth., it refused to login a user when nscd was turned on, it said the user didn't exist. UID#->username mapping worked, though.
Stopping nscd allowed the user to login instantaniously.
We had a few people reporting problems but nobody ever was able or willing to provide any data. I use it on all my machines and never had problems.
So, if the problem is reproducible after
service nscd restart
then stop it again, and start nscd by hand with
/usr/sbin/nscd -d -d -d
After this perform the operation which fails and send the output (or better yet, create a bug).
