-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello, it's embarrassing enough, but I managed to accidentally overwrite master.passwd (using mergemaster, which, IMHO, shouldn't even consider to update master.passwd!) but then figured that if I don't hit pwd_mkdb, the pw db will remain intact, now is there any easy way to regenerate master.passwd from pwd.db (inverted pwd_mkdb so to speak) or do I need to dig out the backups? (for some reasons, there ain't no backup of master.passwd in var) Best regards, Gabriel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQEVAwUBPDdO/8Za2WpymlDxAQHGbQf9GWojcSqvCH8/AcYvHWRXUL2n6rsjFWqB OcEhSsBEzdPQ1C6onVMAl+1FK/oxWDHMjGmPIRwZyM2Zy+MWbvWogNSNi4+SO1sg QDS+3igij+CrAlTghNuouBDhPbtQra9g6FTQRdgfVDhIVwWq7/yDtrahXa2t8dX7 NhKWr8UKv6GIHzQJE2wc6qGxz/R8ehSe9D/IyeK21GzdP5AUNxvGSTFzhw/9TOie OzFLlOUw5R/lfm47F8aekceyMAnVBzlF1yn0rgNVBQQqQ1wYE5iFXY/ngVag2a/m v97qUgU465k305PTReriCfPg5vktXxQG3fmmuYV0w+b9JB4yMSTLbQ== =d2Ne -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
