I never witnissed any message. After I press enter (adduser) nothing appears on the screen at all. But it has been a long time ago and I'm currently unable to experiment. I hope tomorrow I will. I assume it's a good idea to run a debug kernel ? I also recall there were some occaisions I once run adduser that went ok, but the second (and more) times in a row it just locked. These cases were never reproducable, however I had the idea something called some rpc.lockd procedure before. In all these cases, the box ran the standard sendmail enabled. Maybe in these occasions the box did a 'lock' before, and all subsequent flock() calls stall. Something like that. I'm not sure but at that time I presume I ran a 6.0-rel pxe client served by a 5.3-rel nfs server; I really forget though and didn't take any notes either. Regards, Robert
