Hi, I am planning to upgrade a Linux based server which I maintain to
FreeBSD. My majore concern is that I would like to bring the passwd file
over. IIRC, FreeBSD uses a  MD5 mechanims whilst Linux and other Unix's
use a DES based scheme

IS there a filter I need to run or will FreeBSD recognise DES based
passwords and do the right thing ?

Just to confirm, I assume FreeBSD supports the Adaptec 2940U2W and the
Dlink 10/100 card (uses the Tulip chipset)


Thanks, Yusuf
