Hi Edgar.
There are a number of things you might try, in increasing order of difficulty:
1. We have uploaded a new version of AuthBy UNIX with significant performance
improvements contributed by Jamie Hill ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Thanks Jamie!
Download from
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/downloads/patches-2.14.1/AuthUNIX.pm
2. You could try using AuthBy SYSTEM instead, which does not cache user
entries.
3. You could convert your password/shadow file into a DBM or SQL database using
the utilities provided with Radiator.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
