Since release 4.x I have pw.conf and adduser.conf files in /etc that I move forward to each new release. This time on 10.0 with those .conf files in play, when I did a pw adduser I got a message saying a dump was being taken, but vipw and pw showuser showed that new user was there so I disregarded the dump message. Deleting the /etc pw.conf and adduser.conf files from /etc made the dump message stop. This looks like another symptom of what maybe a pw bug. In general this was not occurring in 9.x and older releases. Only happing in release 10.0.
