Helpful tip: when building large db file (version 1.85), set the cache size (in the openinfo structure) to be as large as possible. The optimal seems to be a little less than the final size of the db file (oddly enough, having a cache larger than the db degrades performance slightly). This will greatly improve the speed of pwd_mkdb and yp_mkdb. The same holds true for DB2. > Does it have something to do with Radius? ??? Radius doesn't have anything to do with Unix user authentication. There are radius servers which will proxy requests, but it's not really anything close to logically merging two user databases.
