groupadd, useradd, etc

[Bill Gradwohl]

On a completely patched FC3 box, what could cause groupadd to take over 
3 minutes to finish?

All the utilities that manage users and groups are incredibly slow, 
taking several minutes each to complete.

As the only loged in user (I'm still setting this box up) here's a sample:
root at s2 ~# time groupadd xyz

real    3m16.414s
user    0m27.906s
sys     0m8.998s
root at s2 ~# time groupdel xyz

real    3m14.103s
user    0m27.141s
sys     0m9.275s

Ideas?
