Hi! One of the latest updates to my i386/stable-box gave me severe headaches wrt the subject. I run cyrus for providing a small handful of users with POP3/ IMAP4-access, and since I do not want all of them to have shells on my box, I authenticate them via pam_userdb and a separate password-file. Until recently this just worked. I'd create the .db-file with sendmails makemap from a "key<whitespace>value\n"-style source. Now makemap produces "Version 8" (libdb3?) files, which pam_userdb cannot read. After much debugging I've now resorted to creating a "Version 5" .db-file with db_load (from libdb2-util). This seems like an ugly kludge (it's far from "intuitive", and db_load wants paired lines of input which means I have to rewrite all my little helper-scripts). Is there a "standard" or "preferred" way of doing this? Maybe one which has some probability of surviving the next libdb<$num>-upgrade? TIA+cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
