Re: reading users/cdb

| I know I have a user fishbone in my users/cdb. How do I query users/cdb

I usually just ask qmail-getpw.

  qmail-getpw fishbone | tr '\000' :; echo
  qmail-getpw fishbone-something | tr '\000' :; echo

The problem with that, of course, is that you don't really know
whether the answer was extracted from users/cdb or deduced from the
passwd file.  You might wish to create a test version of qmail-getpw
to get around that.
