Avoid Deadlocks with the Lookaside Database
The setting of the under_NIS_server token in the seos.ini configuration file has a default setting of yes to avoid deadlocks. The token tells to use its own internal name resolution tables instead of NIS, DNS, or the nscd cache. Unless otherwise specified, these tables reside in memory.

The setting of the under_NIS_server token in the seos.ini configuration file has a default setting of yes to avoid deadlocks. The token tells
PAM Server Control
to use its own internal name resolution tables instead of NIS, DNS, or the nscd cache. Unless otherwise specified, these tables reside in memory.PAM Server Control
internal name resolution is much faster than NIS name resolution and even faster than using files. Using PAM Server Control
internal name resolution improves performance even in an environment where there is no danger of deadlocks. No cache exists for the internal name resolution tables in the lookaside database.
PAM Server Control
uses an open file handle to read data from the tables.
