Re: Help: How can I recover /etc/aliases from /etc/aliases.db?
If you are using dbm, you might be able to use the db_dump command.
Here is a little piece of the manpage for it:
NAME
db_dump - the DB database dump utility
SYNOPSIS
db_dump [-d] [-f output] db_file
db_dump [-p] [-f output] [-h home] db_file
db_dump185 [-p] [-f output] db_file
DESCRIPTION
The db_dump utility reads the database file db_file and
writes it to the standard output using a portable flat-
text format understood by the db_load(1) utility. The
argument db_file must be a file produced using the DB
library functions.
This is from the db_dump that comes with the Berkeley db from sleepycat.
I just checked one of my debian systems and db_dump is in /usr/bin.
