Hmm. I'm not sure. At least, if admin _does_ know he is needed to have
.db, he'd just run cap_mkdb as mentioned in the file header once, and then
mergemaster will handle this. But for systems with default login.conf with
just 8 classes it would be just waste -- isn't it?

Or, if we stick with you way, then I think sysinstall should make .db
during first install pass, just like newaliases.

Comments?
