[Bug 1005] installing openssh on AIX takes a long time when there are many users
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005
           Summary: installing openssh on AIX takes a long time when there
                    are many users
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.0p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: dleonard at vintela.com
The post-install script of the AIX install uses something like 'lsusers ALL
|
grep ssh' to see if the privsep user has been created.
The trouble is that invoking 'lsusers ALL' takes TWO HOURS to complete
at a
particular site with thousands of users!
The simple fix to contrib/aix/buildbff.sh was:
225c225
<       if lsuser ALL | cut -f1 -d: | egrep
'^'$SSH_PRIVSEP_USER'\$' >/dev/null
--->       if lsuser "$SSH_PRIVSEP_USER" >/dev/null
