We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

    'auto-propagate'        => true,
    },
  },
}

The only compulsory key per database is enable-cache. If false also subsequent keys for that database will be ignored.

The dbconfig parameter is configured with a lookup_option of a deep merge. So particular settings can be appended or overridden from hiera.

nscd::dbconfig:
  netgroup:
    check-files: false
  services:
    enable-cache: false
