master.passwd out of sync

[Albert Shih]

Hi everyone,

I try to understand how the /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db are updated with /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb.

Anyone known what going to update those file ?

The reason is I try to create a account with pw and sometime I got the
message

  pw: user '*******' disappeared during update

so I just need to do a

    /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd

and everything work fine.

But that's not seem to be normal. So I try to find if they are some cron to
do that and didn't find anything.

Regards
