What is the relationship between the passwords on BSDI and FreeBSD ? I 
notice the encrypted passwords on BSDI seem to be much shorter than the 
ones on FreeBSD.

The reason I ask is because I have written a perl script which creates 
encrypted passwords suitable for importing directly into FreeBSDs 
/etc/master.passwd file. (The script uses perls crypt function in a 
manner similar to Wolfram Schneider's `adduser' script for FreeBSD).
Would such a script produce BSDI compatable passwords if it was executed 
on a BSDI machine ?
