Probably the best thing to do is sniff them. If it is a non unix machine you
may not be able to use the encrypted passwords. I don't know all of the types
but they may not match up. It should be pretty obvious if you look at the size
of the string. If it is the same type encryption then just move the encrypted
string similar to how you moved the mail.
We just went the other way (from post.office on a Digital Unix System to
sendmail on FreeBSD) and installed a sniffer. sniff is what we used. As for
the mail... it was very similar to what you did using formail and procmail.
Still there was the need to strip a ^M off of every line between formail and
procmail because netscape was confusing the headers.. My buddy Joe said it was
formail inserting the ^M. I still have not figured out why.
cat /etc/master.passwd will show you the encrypted strings. you can | cut -d":"
-f1,2 to get the usernames:encrypted strings.
cat /etc/master.passwd | ut -d":" -f1,2
What type of system is the mail being moved too?
11,000 moved gave us a little trouble. :)
aliases, listserv,forwards,blah blah.
post.office is not a real mail server.
later,
