Although a script to do this would not be too tough, you might as well just use a fairly smart editor to merge the fields from the passwd file and shadow file into one on your Linux system. Then move this file to FreeBSD and use vipw, again with your favorite editor, to include the new file. Exit vipw, and you should be all go... provided that you have FreeBSD using the same encryption scheme as the Linux system was. -- Crist J.
