+ SSSD monitors the state of resolv.conf to
+ identify when it needs to update its internal
+ DNS resolver. By default, we will attempt to
+ use inotify for this, and will fall back to
+ polling resolv.conf every five seconds if
+ inotify cannot be used.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ There are some limited situations where it is
+ preferred that we should skip even trying to
+ use inotify. In these rare cases, this option
+ should be set to 'false'
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Default: true on platforms where inotify is
+ supported. False on other platforms.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note: this option will have no effect on
+ platforms where inotify is unavailable. On
+ these platforms, polling will always be used.
