Dear Chris Costello and other Stabilizers
Re: send-pr, passwd and lprm just hang on 3.1 stable upgraded from 2.2.8.
The above commands just hang and do nothing, still.
You asked if I had the latest sh.
I should have the latest everything.
I have cvsup'd a few times, I have remade world a few
times, I have made a few kernels, I have done mergemaster. The only
files I did not update with mergemaster were spwd.db and pwd.db,
since they were binary files. What is the proper way to regenerate
.db files such as these?
I even went back and did a 'make upgrade', even though it
should have been redundant to other makes. No improvements to
the problem. Not that there haven't been improvements to my system.
I really like the new functionality of 3.1.
Since I last wrote, I have found another command that hangs
and does nothing: lprm (in addition to my original problems passwd
and send-pr).
If I enter illegal option -H to passwd and lprm, they come
back immediately (properly) with usage: instructions.
But if I use these commands properly, they just do nothing.
Any ideas what to try?
