Hi folks,

today it appeared again:

The message in /etc/message says:
Sep 25 15:26:55 gluon syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument
Sep 25 15:26:57 gluon last message repeated 8 times

Has anyone an idea which causes this (which program, lib) ?

(I have xdm and NIS running on this machine, but no one changed
the PW at that time.)

Thanks,
Robert
