Hi,

At work, we need to add 100k+ loginaccounts on a single system, but I've found that after about 15k accounts it takes ~5 seconds to add it (through pw useradd).
My guess is that its the pwmkdb that is slowing things down at an exponetial rate - anyone know how to fix this?

Please reply to me as I'm not a member of the list.

/Bjorn
