FLUSH_CACHE(1M)          DOMAIN/IX SYS5           FLUSH_CACHE(1M)



NAME
     flush_cache - clear the node's acl_cache

USAGE
     /etc/flush_cache

DESCRIPTION
     The flush_cache command clears the node's acl_cache.  The
     acl_cache is used to improve performance when converting
     AEGIS file protections (acl's) into UNIX protection bits.
     The use of flush_cache is essential when, for example, a
     password file is accidentally removed and then recreated,
     thus making the node's acl_cache invalid.

     Use this command only as a last resort, when fix_cache(1M)
     does not resolve problems involving the reading of file pro-
     tections. After executing a flush_cache, shut down and
     reboot the node.
