Re: hangs?

Hi!

I don't know what system you're running. If it's linux:

Sometimes nscd (name switch caching daemon) does some weird things. 
Actually it doesn't but the caching has sometimes side-effects.

You can easily test it by stopping nscd (normally "rcnscd stop") and try 
 the password-expired/password-change stuff. Without nscd your system 
talks directly with LDAP (or NIS).

nscd improves the speed e.g. when making a "ls -l".
