Hi, Here's the situation. We have an web/ftp server with around 74000 users defined in the local unix password database. On 4.9-stable which it is running now, there is no noticable load when lookups are done (logins via ftp, ~user lookups from apache etc.). We want to migrate this system to 6-stable. However on 6-STABLE (FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Dec 5 13:35:05 CET 2007) these same lookups cause very high load and things slow down to a crawl. Does anybody have an idea what causes this behavior? Thanx in advance for any insights. Best regards, Patrick.
