[BlueOnyx:10444] 5106R and pam_abl

[Bill Hicks]

One of my BO's did not send me an update report this mornign so I SSH'd in 
to see if there was an issue, if it was stuck on an update and it was 
running slow. I did a "top" to see what was running and there was 30 or more 
copies of pam_abl --purge running, some as old as 3 days. I did a restart 
and it took a few minutes but it did restart for me and all is fine now. I 
had an issue with pam_abl before where it locked up on a restart on purging 
the databases and I had to restart the server in what I call safe mode where 
you confirm every process starting and told it now to run pam_abl so I could 
remove these:

rm /var/lib/abl/hosts.db
rm /var/lib/abl/users.db

per an old mailing list topic: [BlueOnyx:06544] Re: Problem with pam_abl

Is this something I should consider doing on a regular basis or are the two 
problems not related.
