Did you try pwd_mkdb by hand? struct utmp did change from 2.x to 3.x, which I could believe might cause some of the problems you describe. You may also want to try running passwd as root, or using truss(1) to watch a passwd invocation and see where it's hanging (you'll need to do that as root as well in order get anything useful out of truss, since passwd is setuid). -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
