   Hi,

	I did a CVSUP around midnight, CST, Feb 26, so I have some
  recent code. Anyway, I was playing with the adduser utility. Here
  is the script:

Check /etc/shells
Check /etc/master.passwd
Check /etc/group
Enter your default shell: bash csh date no sh [bash]: 
Your default shell is: bash -> /usr/local/bin/bash
Enter your default HOME partition: [/home]: 
Copy dotfiles from: /root /usr/share/skel no [/root]: 
Send message from file: /etc/adduser.message no [no]: 
Do not send message
Use passwords (y/n) [y]: 

Ok, let's go.
Don't worry about mistakes. I will give you the chance later to correct any input.
Enter username [a-z0-9_-]: bruce
Enter full name []: Me
Enter shell bash csh date no sh [bash]: 
Enter home directory (full path) [/home/bruce]: 
Uid [1000]: 
Enter login class: default []: root
Login group bruce [bruce]: wheel
Login group is ``wheel''. Invite bruce into other groups: guest no 
[no]: 
Enter password []: 
Enter password again []: 

Name:     bruce
Password: ****
Fullname: Me
Uid:      1000
Gid:      0 (wheel)
Class:    root
Groups:   wheel 
HOME:     /home/bruce
Shell:    /usr/local/bin/bash
OK? (y/n) [y]: 
Added user ``bruce''
Copy files from /root to /home/bruce
Add another user? (y/n) [y]: n
Goodbye!

   Now, the problem is that the copying of files from /root to /home/bruce
   went off the deep end. Several minutes (real time) and 20 seconds of CPU
   time were expended, and all I got was:

bash-2.03# ls -l /home/bruce
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  3 bruce  wheel  512 Feb 27 17:39 .netscape
drwxr-xr-x  2 bruce  wheel  512 Feb 27 17:39 sup
bash-2.03# cd .netscape
bash-2.03# ls -l
total 1491

drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel      512 Sep  6 19:01 xover-cache

   Was I too impatient? Is there some reason the copy routine would take
   several minutes (10+) to copy these few files? I would have expected
   the copy to take a couple of seconds, max.
