It is possible, using the Makefile in /var/db to replace the password file by the /var/db/passwd.db (idem for group.db, protocols.db, services.db, shadow.db and rpc.db). It works fine, but how can we directly make user in these db files ? There is a passwd DB on cpan perl, but we can't manage to use it. Is someone know if there is something on that somewhere ?? Thanks it advance for your help :-) ------------ Fabien
