Dear Stablizers,
OH NO! Now I have TWO systems with bad passwd, send-pr.
This system was okay at 3.0, so I thought it had dodged the passwd
bullet, and it would be safe to upgrade to today's 3.1-stable.
(by doing a 'make world' and building a new kernel)
Wrong. Now it too has been infected with the problem.
Everybody please try to change your password with 'passwd', and
try to start the 'send-pr' program. On my two 3.1 systems (upgraded
by_the_book) from 2.2.8, now these two commands (and, on one and only
one of my 2 systems, lprm) just hang and do nothing. Is it
really only me with this problem?
I did a vipw and got fresh dates for my pwd.db and spwd.db files,
but no change to the hanging of passwd.
