== Step 1: Stop ALL running Processes

/sbin/service crond stop
/sbin/service admserv stop
/sbin/service httpd stop
/sbin/service xinetd stop
/sbin/service dovecot stop
/sbin/service sendmail stop
/usr/bin/killall -9 sendmail
/sbin/service saslauthd stop
/sbin/service cced.init stop
/sbin/service dbrecover stop

== Step 2: MAKE Backups!!!!

/bin/mkdir -p /SYSTEM-BACKUP
cd /var/db/
/bin/tar cfvpz /SYSTEM-BACKUP/var-db.tgz *
/bin/cp /etc/passwd /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
/bin/cp /etc/shadow /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
/bin/cp /etc/group /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
/bin/cp /usr/sausalito/perl/Base/User.pm /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
/bin/cp /usr/sausalito/perl/Base/Group.pm /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
/bin/cp /etc/pam.d/system-auth /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
/bin/cp /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd /SYSTEM-BACKUP/saslauthd
/bin/cp /etc/nsswitch.conf /SYSTEM-BACKUP/
ls -l /SYSTEM-BACKUP/

== Step 3: Lets "unconvert" the database back to flat files.

cd /var/db
/usr/bin/makedb -u passwd.db | /bin/grep -v "^=" | /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/(^\..*?) //" >> /etc/passwd
/usr/bin/makedb -u shadow.db | /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/(^\..*?) //" >> /etc/shadow
/usr/bin/makedb -u group.db | /bin/grep -v "^=" | /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/(^\..*?) //" >> /etc/group

== Step 4: Clean up the old password & shadow database now

cd /var/db
/bin/touch passwd shadow group
/usr/bin/makedb -o passwd.db passwd
/usr/bin/makedb -o shadow.db shadow
/usr/bin/makedb -o group.db group
/bin/rm -f passwd shadow group

== Step 5: Verify they are indeed blank to avoid any issues

cd /var/db
/usr/bin/makedb -u passwd.db 
/usr/bin/makedb -u shadow.db 
/usr/bin/makedb -u group.db

== Step 6: Make a change to the BlueQuartz backend so that it uses /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow instead
============= Note edit this file =============

cd /usr/sausalito/perl/Base/
vi User.pm
# serach for sub useradd _return
# replace - return _internal_useradd([PWDB_UNIXDB, PWDB_SHADOWDB], @_);
# with    - return _internal_useradd([PWDB_UNIX, PWDB_SHADOW], @_); 

== Step 7: Make a change to the BlueQuartz backend so that it uses /etc/group instead!
============= Note edit this file =============

cd /usr/sausalito/perl/Base/
vi Group.pm
# serach for sub groupadd  _return
# replace - return _internal_groupadd([PWDB_UNIXDB, PWDB_SHADOWDB], @_);
# with    - return _internal_groupadd([PWDB_UNIX, PWDB_SHADOW], @_);

== Step 8: Change nsswitch.conf so it won't look at the old database

/usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s#db files#files#" /etc/nsswitch.conf

== Step 9: Change saslauthd so it won't look at the old database

/usr/bin/perl -pi -e "s#^MECH=pam#MECH=shadow#" /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd

== Step 10: Rebuild PAM's system-auth configuration

cd /etc/pam.d/
/bin/mv system-auth system-auth.backup
/usr/bin/wget http://www.nuonce.net/bq/system-auth.txt
/bin/mv system-auth.txt system-auth

== Step 11: Start the processes back up.

/sbin/service dbrecover start
/sbin/service xinetd start
/sbin/service dovecot start
/sbin/service saslauthd start
/sbin/service sendmail start
/sbin/service cced.init start
/sbin/service admserv start
/sbin/service httpd start
/sbin/service crond start

== Step 12: Now that all services should be running again, go ahead and test functionality.

# test, create a user, and then login the admin GUI as that user.

========================================================================
IF YOU RUN INTO ISSUES!!!!

Stop all Services, Do Step #1 

Restore the backup

cd /var/db 
/bin/tar xfvpz /SYSTEM-BACKUP/var-db.tgz 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/passwd /etc/passwd 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/shadow /etc/shadow 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/group /etc/group 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/User.pm /usr/sausalito/perl/Base/User.pm 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/Group.pm /usr/sausalito/perl/Base/Group.pm 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-auth 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACKUP/saslauthd /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd 
/bin/cp /SYSTEM-BACUP/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf 


Start all Services, Do Step #11
