If you're using the Linux shadow-mk package, it comes with a program called "pwunconv" which will do the trick for you. One caveat: It's a horridly slow program. In fact, it's actually a bit worse than that. It does a "getspwnam()" on every entry in the passwd file, so it's a (number of entries)^2 kind of thing. Attached is a perl program which will do exactly the same thing in about 1/100th of the time, quite literally. Sorry about the huge disclaimer.

I know this isn't particularily relevant to FreeBSD, so perhaps we should move the discussion into isp@freebsd.org. Nevertheless, this is very strange, not 30 seconds ago did I receive a message from one of my users describing a very similar problem. I'm using Sportster and Courrier USR products, and I have decided to wait until there is a known good relase of the 33.6 sportsters before upgrading my units. Another local provider bought 150 sportsters only to find out that they lock up regularly! USR seems quite unwilling to help them out, and were told to "wait for the next SW release".

Try BSDI binaries first, they may already work fine. You might also want to look into netty.c from the contrib directory at Livingston's ftp site.

I run -stable on my Xbox, and i just downloaded the BSDI 2.0 binaries and they work like a charm. Just upgrade to -stable or like you said add linux support and you will be good to go. ===================================| Webspan Inc., ISP Division.

What OS/uucp is at the other end? (it does matter somewhat) Also, print out the texinfo pages from taylor uucp (I don't know if the texinfo source is included in our distribution but if not get it from prep.ai.mit.edu...) (or have a good 'info' reader if you can't get tex stuff printed...) I have the stock -stable uucp here talking to other fbsd boxes with Taylor uucp also, Sun's with HDB (one Solaris and one 4.1.3), and two waffle systems under DOS (and uupc under dos for a while; he finally converted to fbsd); it works fine to all of them. Then send me (or maybe others as needed) direct mail giving some particulars. I can give some sample entries for the uucp config/dial/port/sys files that work here (with site names/passwords changed to protect the innocent :-) Also if your customer has ever set up uucp connections already, it would be *VERY* helpful (if both of you are first-time uucp admins it is significantly harder...). And be *glad* that Ian Taylor did such a good job of documentation; in the old days (mid '80's and before) all there was to set uucp up from was the old Nowitz paper (he's the D of HDB), which was "kind of helpful". --------------------- >The other question is we have a local BBS that connects to us via a PPP >connection.

I can give some sample entries for the uucp > config/dial/port/sys files that work here (with site names/passwords > changed to protect the innocent :-) That would help a lot. I am stuck as it is. All I need to do is figure out how to allow them to poll 3 times / day on a specialized uucp line. Their domain has already been registered (According to my boss), and should be available soon. (It will be a .com address, not a .uucp address) John Hart From owner-freebsd-isp Thu Apr 18 12:45:10 1996 Return-Path: owner-isp Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA02398 for isp-outgoing; Thu, 18 Apr 1996 12:45:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kirk.edmweb.com (kirk.edmweb.com [204.244.190.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA02393 for ; Thu, 18 Apr 1996 12:45:04 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from steve@localhost) by kirk.edmweb.com (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA01601; Thu, 18 Apr 1996 12:44:41 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 18 Apr 1996 12:44:41 -0700 (PDT) From: Steve Reid To: John Hart cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: A few questions In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk > The other question is we have a local BBS that connects to us via a PPP > connection.

(The ARP entry allows the dial-up user's IP address to be associated with the Ethernet address of the modem machine.) It's a bug in the 2.1-Release kernel. You can manually arp -d the entry, or you can fix the kernel... *** Begin Quoted Message *** >From jlwest@tseinc.comThu Apr 18 12:38:35 1996 Date: Fri, 22 Mar 1996 08:37:15 -0600 From: "Jay L.

If you are running 2.1R, go to ftp.freebsd.org and download a file from the -stable branch (I think the path was usr/src/sys/netinet) called in_rmx.c and replace your in_rmx.c with the one from stable. Then remake your kernel and all should be well. You should note that this doesn't keep the arp entries from appearing, but it does allow new connections to overwrite the old routes; it works.
