Another "trick" you might want to try is to run BULDACCT before you start
the process and include BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2 on the backup (thanks HPRC for
that suggestion!).  You could also have used BULDJOB2 to rebuild your
catalog; however, you still would have had to sign off and back on again for
the UDCs to take effect.

I recently did a reinstall to configure out some ancient first-generation
SCSI drives.  When I did the RESTORE, I found several accounts and passwords
missing even though I used the ;DIRECTORY option.  BULDJOB1 saved my hide
and rebuilt the system directory to exactly what it was before I started the
reinstall process.  Just a thought!
