Updating the Hosts Lookaside Table

You must update the hosts lookaside table. To do so, execute sebuildla ‑h at regular intervals (site-specific). Use cron jobs to do this.

Every time you change the UNIX user or group databases utilizing selang, you must run the sebuildla utility. CA Access Control provides exit scripts for this purpose, which runs sebuildla with the appropriate parameters.
