Title
NIS maps are not updated with deletions automatically -
Description
On QAS clients deletions to NIS maps are not reflected on the client. Manually running "vasypd -x" resolves.
-
Cause
The default behavior in the newer releases is to not run a "full flush" of the maps.
-
Resolution
Edit the /etc/opt/quest/vas/vas.conf file and add the following setting under the [vasypd] section
full-update-interval = <integer (seconds)>
For example:[vasypd]
# update cache every 24 hours
full-update-interval = 86400 -
Additional Information
full-update-interval = <integer (seconds)>
Default value: 0
vasypd will normally update new or modified NIS map information every 30 minutes (see update-interval) but will not detect deleted NIS maps. This setting specifies (in seconds) how often the NIS map update will instead fully reload all NIS maps.
When this setting is absent or set to 0, these cache entries will not be flushed or updated.
[vasypd]
# update cache every 24 hours
full-update-interval = 86400
