Wow.  I would not be surprised at all if my passdb does not have the utmost
integrity.

I'd be happy to, but I can't find ldbdump.  I have tdbdump and ntdbdump.
I gather from googling that ldbdump is based on or inspired by tdbdump.

Would a tdbdump suffice?  If not, how can I get ldbdump?

As to posting the dump for you - I'm not sure it's wise to post it to this list.
I could put it in dropbox, and email you a link.  Let me know if that plan is undesirable.

Thanks,

Jon
