Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG As the subject alluded to, I'm curious if there's some way to (easily) generate passwd and master.passwd files from their respective databases. I've trashed the master.passwd accidentally, and while I have a backup, I'd like to know if there's some way to fix this if sometime I accidentally zap the backup file too. - alex | "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern | | technology.
