Here is what I get:
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Under debian, there is a separate package "nscd" with the following 
description:
Package: nscd
Source: eglibc
Description-en: Embedded GNU C Library: Name Service Cache Daemon
 A daemon which handles passwd, group and host lookups
 for running programs and caches the results for the next
 query. You should install this package only if you use
 slow services like LDAP, NIS or NIS+.

I am running neither LDAP nor NIS*, so it is not installed.
