Argh.  nscd is evil. I would add it to your task list to transition to
SSSD.  And with SSSD you can flush the cache, for users or groups, with
the sss_cache command rather than by restarting a service - and you can
actually set meaning cache criteria and expiration.

SSSD finally brings some sanity to ident management on LINUX.

nslcd is also better than nscd if SSSD is too far for you right now. 
 nscd is evil.  Get rid of nscd.
