nscd

[adriano]

The "Application Setup" in the manual
( https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html )
suggests to run the nscd service

"we strongly recommend that the system run the GNU C library’s name
service cache daemon, nscd, which should be listening on the
/var/run/nscd/socket socket."

 found such service already running on my Ubuntu installation and the
mentioned socket is there

But now I'm wondering: does the manual refer to the host distro when it
says "the system" ?

Or does it refer to the Guix layer ?

Maybe this has something to do with the other thread I opened about the
locales ?
