I was searching through the archives and dind't finde the answer. I was also trying to look into pwd_mkdb source, but ... /var/backups contains a few files you may need.

But I still wonder, if there is a possibily to reconstruct master passwd back from .db files, e.g. in case this backup is not up-to-date. I think it should be possible, but I don't knw how..
