Hello Ovi,
Thank you for testing it out. I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 as my OS. I will try
to check if I can run dbtext with the commands you used below. Will give
you feedback.
Appreciate your help.
Many thanks!

I just made a copy of the latest sc.dbtext in my home
directory,
changed the x attribute on the file and run it:
$ ./sc.dbtext
./sc.dbtext 1.1 - $Revision: 1.17 $
parameter usage:
* subscribers *
add <username> <password> <email> .. add a new subscriber (*)
passwd <username> <passwd> ......... change user's password (*)
rm <username> ...................... delete a user (*)
mail <username> .................... send an email to a user
rpid add <username> <rpid> ......... add rpid for a user (*)
rpid rm <username> ................. remove rpid for a user (*)
.....
It is working fine for me.
Which OS are you running?
sc.dbtext is providing dbtext tables manipulation.
openserctl is providing you extra functionality like fifo commands,
usrloc commands ...
You should have both installed on your system.
