What is the use of a 'data storage' if it changes about twice a year. Does anyone think it is reasonable to expect to read a database file that was created less than 2 years ago? > > You could also send me a tarball with the user and group databases.

It looks like nothing extraordinary, simply a single user in the system:administrators group similar to how everyone's pdb databases look after vice-setup-user is done, so I've cc'd codalist. What you have to do is simple, cd /vice/db # backup the old databases and move them out of the way mv prot_index.db prot_index.db~ mv prot_users.db prot_users.db~ # create a new database and import data from the users and groups files pdbtool import florian.users florian.groups And everything should work but now the databases are in the libdb4 format that pdbtool was linked against.
