I am converting from Linux to FreeBSD to run my server off of, and I am having some difficulties with some very simple things. For the most part, I have been able to take care of some compiling issues and some porting problems, but there is one thing that still stumps me: I would like to convert nearly 4000 passwd entries in Linux (non-shadow) to FreeBSD (shadowed) using the DES package, or whatever would be simplest. When I got this machine, the latest snap (951104) was installed into it with the DES stuff on. Now, all I need is a simple way to move all of these entries over from one platform to another without having to type them all in individually. Any help would be appreciated! --Chris chris@nebula.net
