Dear Jonathan Michaels, John Baldwin, and Mike Smith,
passwd hang is fixed. For me, anyway.
Thank you for suspecting NIS, which was sort of invoked on
my system, for no reason. Once I deleted all references to it
in /etc/rc.conf.local, the hanging of passwd and send-pr went away.
This has bothered me on and off for years. I hope it's gone for
good now. On another 3.2 system, and with 2.2.8, it never happened,
even with the spurious nis client turned on.
