Hi list,

My problem is solved. Since I changed my SCSI to a Quantum, I haven't have
more problem with performance.

I recompiled the pwd_mkdb.c program using more RAM memory and the
performance became better. Before compilation the "delete user" operation
takes 3 minutes, and now the same operation takes 11 seconds (whe have
about 12000 usernames - thanks Pedro Vazquez ;).

[]s,
