Re: Possible Issue with Netinfo and Mac OS X

      Anyway to get to the core of the matter, I was looking through the
file structure, looking at some of the config files, and such, when I
happened to look in /var/backups in var/backups there was one file called:
"local.nidump"

[snip]

the same information as above can be gained with the command:

nidump passwd . (iirc i don't have any OSX systems around anymore)

Ethan:  You remember correctly.

This was reported back in July of this year on a few lists.

so I can't find the exact URL.
