The two new options are used in the default nscd.conf, introduced in
|
|
|
50b7d1c |
revisions 1.11 and 1.12. See:

To see how the max-db-size is used, grep `nscd/mem.c' for
|
|
|

`max_db_size'.

To se the actual usage of `auto-propagate', grep `nscd/pwdcache.c' and
|
|
|
50b7d1c |
`nscd/grpcache.c' for `propagate'.
