Subject:   How to transfer passwd data from NIS-Server to local
Message-ID:  <3CFF446D.9040905@ant.uni-bremen.de>

Hi,

We have a FreeBSD server running 4.5-RELEASE, that acts as a NIS client for 
login. NIS server is a Sparc/Solaris machine that runs NIS+ in NIS compatible mode.
I want to get rid of the Sparc and since there are no more NIS clients, i want 
to use local passwd for login. How can i transfer the passwd data (including 
crypted passwords) from the NIS server to the local passwd database?
I am able to extract the data from NIS, but how do i write it to local?
I really do not want to require all our users to set their passwords again.

Thanks for any ideas,
