I wrote a little (sort of lame) C program to do this for an IRIX box
I have.  You can ftp from, 

ftp://ftp.xray.ncsu.edu/pub/irix/utils/pwunconv.c

compile it with -DLINUX in the gcc command line and you should be OK.

The code doesn't make any attempt to put exclusive locks on the files,
so if you are the paranoid type or your machine tends to have a lot of
users, run this code when you are in single user mode to be safe.
