[comp.sys.apollo] SR10.1.p passwd/group changes are not immediately visible

e07@nikhefh.nikhef.nl (Eric Wassenaar) (12/18/89)

If you modify the registry database with edrgy, changes are not
immediately propagated to /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
If you list these files shortly after the change, they still show
the old information.

You can force the new database changes by invoking 'rgy_admin'
and put the registry in "state -in_maintenance" immediately
followed by "state -not_in_maintenance".

This is terrible.
