From cab4c5011d0dc6d98e2115f46b1185a17804df49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Gallagher Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 13:55:41 -0400 Subject: Add try_inotify option There are some special cases where inotify cannot be used, even if the host OS claims that it is supported. In these cases, it should be possible to explicitly disable the use of inotify. https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/484 --- src/man/sssd.conf.5.xml | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/man/sssd.conf.5.xml') diff --git a/src/man/sssd.conf.5.xml b/src/man/sssd.conf.5.xml index 3bc3efdc2..850dfdd33 100644 --- a/src/man/sssd.conf.5.xml +++ b/src/man/sssd.conf.5.xml @@ -157,6 +157,34 @@ + + try_inotify (boolean) + + + SSSD monitors the state of resolv.conf to + identify when it needs to update its internal + DNS resolver.
