	Hi folx , 

	I'm posting this is under separate subj., although this 
	relates to my former posting about getting out
	of space at root filesystem ( / ).
	It looks like every time  one runs pwd_mkdb 
	there 3 unreferenced inodes left at / , which
	finally will consume all the space at / .
	One is probably copy of pwd.db or spwd.db , and another is
	the copy of the master.passwd ...
	Really weird stuff ( after all this is user process , not
	kernel related stuff  ? ? ).

	After running fsck at '/' device the unref. inodes will be clea-
	ned out and the / will return to its normal state .

	SNAP 021095 , P90 SCSI/PCI

	Any clue  ?
