commit d34d4c80226b3f5a1b51a8e5b005a52fba07d7ba Author: Carlos O'Donell Date: Wed Mar 20 22:11:32 2019 -0400 nscd: Improve nscd.conf comments. This change adds a warning to nscd.conf about running multiple caching services together and that it may lead to unexpected behaviours. Also we add a note that enabling the 'shared' option will cause cache hit rates to be misreported (a side effect of the implementation). v2 - Rewrite comment to avoid implementation details. diff --git a/nscd/nscd.conf b/nscd/nscd.conf index 39b875912d..487ffe461d 100644 --- a/nscd/nscd.conf +++ b/nscd/nscd.conf @@ -3,6 +3,9 @@ # # An example Name Service Cache config file.
