I have a similar problem with large password files. If there are more than around 900 users in the file, reading the file in and splitting on colons blows things up. I work around this by counting the lines in the file using countlinesmatching with a ".*" and then setting a class if the size of the file is within the range which doesn't break things. But that only works because I don't absolutely *have* to do the processing which comes from the file. :) I'm still holding my breath for the rest of the getent functions (getuserhome!) to be implemented to solve my problem... ;) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
