I think it's only supposed to check the pidfile, and then quit.

If it's speaking to nscd, it's doing that because of an nsswitch 
configuration.  For me it does a total of one lookup (it's own 
hostname) through nscd.

It's probably triggered by cfg_init(), which you can probably move to 
after 'if (nslcd_checkonly)' in nslcd/nslcd.c.
