hello managers


we have around 3400 users , our machine is using DU 4.0b.
when I use userdel to delete a user an error message is displayed:
cannot find user
but when I finger the same user it exists even I can su the user.
when I use removeuser it can remove the user.,
on another machine same operating system I can remove any user using
userdel, the difference is that the other machine has less users ( less
passwd file size ).

so is there a limitation for the command userdel to a certain size of
passwd file.


waiting for any ideas


thank you
