nscd maintains a system cache for name lookups. If the listed users

that aspect of caching can be configure in nscd.conf with the
negative-time-to-live option. If the user is found caching in nscd can
be configured with positive-time-to-live.

However, nscd does not have anything specific to do with LDAP (it will
also cache /etc/passwd entries). The connection to the LDAP server is
configured via nslcd (does not do caching except for one specific
case).

The logs you provided already provide tha PID of the process that is
performing the lookups. That should narrow it down a bit.

If you run nslcd in debug mode it will similarly report the PID of the
process that is making the requests (in your case it is likely that a
lot of requests are made through nscd).

Hope this helps,
