Did you check the return codes of the bdb calls in libnss-db when things fail? The operation in nssupdate-db is transaction protected so we _should_ be able to make the updates look atomic without having to resort to poor "copy over the database" methods. Help on this would be welcome since I'm far from a BDB expert. Cheers, -- Guido
