Hi all.

> Version

This shall be corrected by this bugfix:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2005-727.html :

[...]
Installing the nfs-utils package turned /var/log/lastlog into a large
sparse file. Subsequently, lastlog took a long time to run because
nfs-utils used adduser to install the nfsnobody account.
[...]

Corrected nfs-utils-1.0.6-65.EL4 shall be available soon
from SL 4 bugfix area (and integrated in 4.2 I believe)

Best Regards

Jarek
