If you have a large password file, increase the cache size of pwd_mkdb
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/pwd_mkdb
edit pwd_mkdb.c
On line 74 you see
HASHINFO openinfo = {
4096, /* bsize */
32, /* ffactor */
256, /* nelem */
2048 * 1024, /* cachesize */
NULL, /* hash() */
0 /* lorder */
};
do something like
HASHINFO openinfo = {
4096, /* bsize */
32, /* ffactor */
256, /* nelem */
32 * 2048 * 1024, /* cachesize */
NULL, /* hash() */
0 /* lorder */
};
Then
make depend
make
make install
