It looks to me like CDB_File has some example perl code that you could use to
implement your own tools - the only existing tool is cdbmake in the cdb
distribution.

Again, it appears that cdbmake expects to find an entire source record on one
line (like the /etc/hosts example).

Radiator does not compile the users.cdb file - it must be built prior to
Radiator accessing it. There is a "builddbm" utility in the Radiator
distribution that could be modified to use the CDB_File primitives rather than
the DBM primitives, and that would read a standard users file as input.
Otherwise, Pedro might have already built a utility that he might contribute to
the Radiator goodies collection?
