NSS_RESINIT(8) System Manager's Manual NSS_RESINIT(8) NAME nss_resinit -- resolver re-initialization NSS module SYNOPSIS hosts: resinit DESCRIPTION The nss_resinit is a module for the nsswitch subsystem which makes resolver(3) reread resolv.conf(5) when it is updated. In the tradi- tional implementation of resolver(3) it is initialized by the applica- tion once and never reread resolv.conf(5) after that even if the file is updated. This module is useful especially when name servers in resolv.conf(5) are changed frequently as seen in mobile environment. To activate nss_resinit, resinit keyword is required before dns keyword in hosts entry of /etc/nsswitch.conf. For example: hosts: resinit files dns Once resolv.conf(5) was reread, nss_resinit prevents from rereading resolv.conf(5) during certain period to intend to reduce overhead for checking a modified time of resolv.conf(5). This interval can be changed by setting kenv(2) variable nss_resinit_interval. The default interval is 10 seconds.
