Yes. Install the basic DES encryption service package, set the appropriate
links (/usr/lib/libcrypt etc.). Transfer your sun password file to the
FreeBSD box, start vipw and read the file. Insert ::0:0 just before the
user's real world name line by line. I'd prefer a query replace of `:'
with `::0:0'. If there are not too much lines, it may be practicable.
