Hi guys, howzit going?

I work for an ISP in South Africa. Currently our dial-up users =
authenticate on a Netware 5 box running Radius services.
We are moving our dial-up authentication to a FreeBSD box running =
Cistron radiusd.
Is there any way to move the existing user accounts from Netware to =
FreeBSD so that I don't have to recreate +- 1000 user accounts on our =
FreeBSD box?

Another way I thought about doing this was to install NDS for RedHat =
onto a RedHat Linux box and then somehow copy the /etc/passwd file to =
the FreeBSD box? Maybe this will work ? how do I do that ?

Please help if you can :)

Regards
Dave Wilson
