Folks,
 
I'm migrating an ISP's NT e-mail server to FreeBSD 3.1. They've
provided user info including:
 
login ID, full name, passwd
 
I've set up the script using my FreeBSD 2.8 system to create the
adduser script which looks like:
 
adduser -batch test4 '' '' 'MR. TEST' qwerty7
 
Works great on 2.8 and creates a record like this:
 
test4:$1$Yk404UY5$vsmNN4Ah1sLVZyHX.NEok1:1024:15::0:0:MR. TEST:/home/test4:/bin/
csh.
 
 
I tried running he script on the 3.1 machine and got a:
 
'-batch no longer supported'    error message.
 
I was originally going to use 'pw', but not not understand
how to use it to set a passwd. Am I overlooking this option?
 
HELP, I don't want to do this by hand and could sure use some
advice on how to programatically make these users.
 
Thanks,
 
Joe S.
