Synopsis: pw destroy /etc/master.passwd when pw executing at the same time Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->kensmith Responsible-Changed-By: kensmith Responsible-Changed-When: Sun Feb 22 18:36:33 PST 2004 Responsible-Changed-Why: I'll give this one a try. The submitted patch looks like it solves what might be a file library routine buffering issue/file locking issue but pw(8) might need more work than just that. I looked it over a bit and can't see where it is using normal password file locking to avoid problems with vipw(8) running at the same time, etc. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23501
