Can it be a lock problem? I have found two files .vpasswd.lock .vpasswd_new.swp

Maybe I have to upgrade? Is there any limitation for the cdb > file? We are using ReiserFS in this machine. cdbmake_init() is unable to create a temp file for making the vpasswd.cdb. It's likely that the filesystem is full, or maybe a permissions problem. I guess it could be something specific to reiserfs, but I doubt it. You could run a make install of 4.9.6-1 again, as it will reset all permissions for you. If all else fails, you could try upgrading. Also, 18K users for cdb is pretty high. While it'll work, I bet updates to vpasswd.cdb are pretty slow. Might want to consider MySQL authentication if you're going to upgrade. Regards, Bill Shupp
