I've integrated some FreeBSD boxes into my solaris network. In do this, I wrote a couple of scripts, sol2tofbsd (which shuffles and deals Solaris' /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow combination in FreeBSD's /etc/master.passwd then runs pwd_mkdb to create the other 3 files), and autohtoamd (which frobs the /etc/auto_home file in to an amd map). Drop me a line if you're interested. In a previous message, Lee Johnston said: > FreeBSD uses /etc/master.passwd to store crypted passwords and /etc/passwd > to store a 'fake' passwd file.
