I don't really know what I'm looking at when I run kdump, but it looks like while its running through the vpasswd file to find an update the entry, it crashes out. It seems to get halfway through the entries in the vpasswd file. Here are the last processes:

 50544 vpasswd  RET   write 8192/0x2000
 50544 vpasswd  PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
 50544 vpasswd  NAMI  "vpasswd.core"

Could this be a memory problem? not sure what i'm looking at here.....

Thanks for the help.

Brendan

other ways to do this? I don't really feel like upgrading. I would
prefer to just narrow down the problem and fix it.

You do have ktrace/kdump, though. That set will tell you what system calls are being made up to the point of failure.
