<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Sadly, I’d wanted to avoid copydb as I have to manage the output files whereas usermod has the nice habit of spilling to stdout. But, I now suspect the extra file handling burden is better than the 5-10 minute
wait for usermod to do the actual mod part.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hi Marty,<span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>does this work for you? It generates the commands for the modifies, and also drops and create indices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> copydb -with_modify -with_index -add_drop mydb<o:p></o:p></p>
