Subject: groupadd, useradd, etc
On a completely patched FC3 box, what could cause groupadd to take over 3 minutes to finish?
All the utilities that manage users and groups are incredibly slow, taking several minutes each to complete.
As the only loged in user (I'm still setting this box up) here's a sample: root@s2 ~# time groupadd xyz
real 3m16.414s user 0m27.906s sys 0m8.998s root@s2 ~# time groupdel xyz
real 3m14.103s user 0m27.141s sys 0m9.275s
Ideas?
Are you running any directory services like LDAP or NIS? What does nsswitch.conf look like, please?
