New account [nscd] has been created
I performed an update last night from 11.50 to 11.52.2.
Scouring the logs this morning and came across this
New account [nscd] has been created with uid:[28] gid:[28] login:[/] shell:[/sbin/nologin]

The Changelog should be of some use to you: 11.52 Release Notes - Documentation - cPanel Documentation nscd daemon enabled during installation or upgrade During the installation or upgrade process, systems with over 1,000 MiB in available memory will automatically enable the nameserver cache daemon (nscd). This daemon caches hosts, passwords, and groups, which improves performance of recurring nameserver requests and password and group lookups. It will also greatly improve your Exim mail server performance. 0 -
