Multiple instances of pw making chanegs at the same time cause some rather horrid things to happen. The master.passwd file can be quite badly corrupted, or pwd_mkdb can fail. This bug is easily reproducable with a 10000+ line master.passwd, using: pw useradd test1; pw userdel test1 ten times over in one process, and pw useradd test2; pw userdel test2 ten times over at the same time. -- Dan Sickels Network Operations eNVIZION INTERNET SOLUTIONS GROUP LTD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
