If root attempts to change the password of another user with the 'passwd username' command, the command hangs, and the registry becomes unavailable. The files /etc/passwd and /etc/group become empty. Sometimes one experiences bad side-effects, such as: The rgyd daemon does not respond any more. All pending nfs connections abort. New nfs connections are refused. This situation is usually restored automatically, if you are lucky within some 10 minutes. This is unacceptable.

The mailing list you are sending message to is a list of Apollo users, not the Apollo corporate bug-reporting address. We (the users) are quite aware that SR10.1.p is full of bugs as we have been using it for sometime now. Please ask your field service office for a copy of SR10.2/SR10.2.p for your site. A lot of what you are reporting are known bugs, and a number of them were fixed in 10.2 -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
