Great work, but is there a reason why this is called cached instead
of nscd?  There is prior precedent (Linux, Solaris) for nscd and
nscd.conf, and cached is just too general.

I general, if there is prior precedent for utilities like this,
we should try to be more conforming instead of paving our own
way.  As an example, we have nsswitch.conf, not switch.conf.
