There's an awk script at the bottom of the passwd(5) manpage that will convert a non-BSD passwd file to BSD's master.passwd format. Make sure you run pwunconv on the Linux box to merge your passwords from /etc/shadow back into /etc/passwd before running the awk script. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=passwd&sektion=5 -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
