it's there 05printer just didn't mention it

here's part of my postinstall.log
/etc/e-smith/events/post-install/S05init-accounts[478]: /home/e-smith/accounts:
OLD printers=(undefined)
/etc/e-smith/events/post-install/S05init-accounts[478]: /home/e-smith/accounts:
NEW printers=sy<142>/etc/e-smith/events/post-install
why (undefined) people have been printing for 3 weeks just fine..so they were
there. In your testing if it restores /etc/printcap then it's no big deal.
Thought it was a bug..guess not.

So the accounts database isn't backed up on the "create reinstallation disk"
only if you backup user data correct?
