I've been copying old passwd/shadow/group files from system to system
for ages across different distributions/updates and would like to
get them back in sync with each other so the system tools will
work. Now they hang like:
#userdel irose
hangs forever, syslog says:
Jul 12 11:19:32 newftp userdel[30335]: delete user `irose'
Jul 12 11:19:32 newftp userdel[30335]: delete `irose' from group `ftp'
Jul 12 11:20:02 newftp last message repeated 373404 times
Jul 12 11:21:04 newftp last message repeated 646597 times
Jul 12 11:21:06 newftp last message repeated 29123 times
Is there some kind of test/diagnostic tool I can use to clean up
the parts that don't match anymore? Preferably one that doesn't
hang forever when something is missing....
