Hi again. I'm setting up a new FreeBSD system to replace an old NetBSD one. I want to import all the users and their passwords. As an experiment on a test box, I tried importing the master.passwd and passwd file from the NetBSD box, that FreeBSD won't let me log in; I always get "Login incorrect". Nothing is logged in /var/log/anything, so I don't know why the login attempts are failing. The users' home directories are created, and they're in proper groups. Is this possible to do?
