Use Caching for Enumeration Requests
Specifies whether enumeration requests use caching. Filling the cache on an enumeration request
can tie up the NIS/LDAP Gateway daemon for a long time, delaying service of other NIS requests,
causing clients to fail or rebind to another server.
NOTE: You should preload maps instead of caching enumeration requests. See “Preload Maps
into the Cache”. See also “Minimizing Enumeration Requests” for more information.
Optional.

ypall_caching off
