Hi,
pwgrd is normally an improvment in case of really big password file. But it has some bugs.
So take care to have a good patch level for it
(PHCO_28007). But if you have a small password file (less than 512 lines), you don't really need it, so you can kill it (it will change nothing at all), and avoid to restart it by modifying /etc/rc.config.d/pwgr and set it to 0.

Cheers.
