So, let's make this clear: Code, which should not be there at all ist
now breaking installation. That's exactly my point... It should not be
there.

I have just checked on my Debian 10. Here's a snipped from /usr/sbin/groupadd:
...
    printf (gtx("Adding group `%s' (GID %d)
...\n"),$new_name,$new_gid) if $verbose;
    &invalidate_nscd("group");
    my $groupadd = &which('groupadd');
    &systemcall($groupadd, '-g', $new_gid, $new_name);
    &invalidate_nscd("group");
    print (gtx("Done.\n")) if $verbose;
...

So this is where this kind of code belongs to. Debian has everything in place.

So I agree that this should be fixed asap in x2gobroker-ssh, but it
should be fixed by removing the nscd code altogether.

No, those people begging for it can be instructed to check their
distro. And to run the flush manually. Or even to simply reboot.

I see it - as this bug report proves - as an unneccessary source for problems.
