    The story: I finally got our server totally up and running, and I was doing my first system backup (a clone of the system drive) when some bad sectors were encountered, and now the Catalog B-Tree is trashed. Almost everything is accesible except /var /etc /usr and a few others.

    I have the server back up and running on a new drive. The new drive has 10.4 on it, the old one has 10.3.

    Does anyone have any ideas how I can recover my users (and their passwords) from the old drive? Where is the open directory database stored? etc..

    Somehow I think I’m out of luck because of /var and /etc (it’s not that many users at this point though, so I can recreate it by hand.. at their inconvenience)
