man-pages/man-pages-2.51-nscd-conf.patch

Document max-db-size and auto-propagate in nscd.conf.

The code for nscd is available at:
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/nscd/?cvsroot=glibc

The two new options are used in the default nscd.conf, introduced in
revisions 1.11 and 1.12.  See:
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/nscd/nscd.conf.diff?r1=1.10&r2=1.12&cvsroot=glibc

See also the parser code for `nscd.conf', in `nscd/nscd_conf.c'.
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
`nscd/grpcache.c' for `propagate'.

option:
