Just yesterday, I started losing with pdbtool 5.2.7, when adding users on a new server. By bashing the source to make the PDB_db_update_maxids deal with bad maxids in the database, I was able to get things to mostly work, but not quite. I am guessing that the problems are due to incomplete conversion to the ntohl/htonl conversion just made to make the pdb endian-independent. It would be nice if there were an 'pdbtool export' command that printed out the contents in plain ascii so that it could be edited if necessary and then fed into 'pdbtool import'. I would want this to be a simple representation of records, so that it could be useful to fix corruption issues by people who understood the format. There's some small chance I'll get around to this, but I thought I would throw out the suggestion. Greg Troxel <gdt_at_ir.bbn.com>Received on 1999-07-16 07:22:06
