Hello Everyone,
I have a server running freebsd 4.8.
When you type the command passwd it hangs for more than 2 minutes
before it finally responds and prompts to change an existing users

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

If you have a large password file, increase the cache size of pwd_mkdb
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/pwd_mkdb
edit pwd_mkdb.c
On line 74 you see
HASHINFO openinfo = {
4096, /* bsize */
32, /* ffactor */
256,/* nelem */
2048 * 1024,/*
Hello Mike,

That sounds a lot like an NIS timeout. Are you using
I would say double check NIS didnt accidentally get set up.
