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
