Hi Cesar, > Are there relation betwen /etc/passwd and /etc/pwd.db? There certainly is a connection. Have a look at the man page for 'pwd_mkdb' for all the details. There is another file, /etc/master.passwd that contains *all* of the login information. The /etc/passwd file is basically a cutdown /etc/master.passwd, and /etc/pwd.db is a database version of /etc/passwd. The database version of /etc/master.passwd is /etc/spwd.db.
