Subject: mkpasswd takes 18 hours to finish!

Hi people,

I've been attempting to set up ssh, because, er..., it seems to be what everyone else is doing!

Got to the "mkpasswd -d" stage, which listed a bunch of people that didn't include me, so I was explicit about the domain:

mkpasswd -d MY_DOMAIN >> /etc/passwd

And it proceeded to list 22,795 of my colleagues and the time it took was...
real    1118m45.573s
user    2m4.187s
sys     2m23.515s

Yep - over 18 hours for the command to finish!
Can anyone beat that?

Rick
