Does anyone know how I could resolve this problem? There should be a file, /etc/passwd, or /etc/shadow or something, that looks similar to /etc/master.passwd on a FreeBSD box. If you carefully incorporate the contents, noting that you match up the right colon-seperated fields on each line, and run pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd on the FreeBSD box, you should be left happy. Good luck. -danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
