FYI I did a test about 3 months back adding 10000 users. I took the script about aout 1.5 days to complete!!! (over the weekend) where as deleteing them took about 8hrs. Initially it was fast adding about 1 user in about 1 or 2secs. In the end it was taking more than a minute. This was due to the password database being rewritten for everyuser. -Satya To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
