C2 Security Problem - getprpwent fails

I noticed that after my last password change, my xlock program no longer
works. XIsso also is acting goofy. The program will start up, but when
you type a UID in to look up the user's attributes, the program just
hangs.

I think there is an enhanced security problem on my machine. It is
running DU 4.0D with the second patch kit applied.

The command below hangs forever.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Mike
