ldb* tools, when passed a raw filename assume tdb:// By default, ldb_tdb will call tdb with O_CREAT. TDB, when passed O_CREAT and a not-tdb file, will wipe the file. This means that if you run ldbedit <path to mdb-format-ldb file> the file will be wiped, which is unexpected. I noticed this while trying to corrupt a sam.ldb backend file (for testing), but instead I wiped it! Ideally tdb would not do that, but the behaviour has been this way for decades. Ideally ldb would have had a "create db" command, but this has been the job of ldbadd for over a decade. So this just blunts the knife for ldbedit.
