Hello there!

I have a Linux NIS server and a FreeBSD box and I want to export
the Linux users to the FreeBSD 2.2.8 box.

I have successfully make two FreeBSD boxes export and import users
databases between them (it was really easy).

I tried then to import the NIS password tables from my Linux Server
and I could not do it.  Somehow v. gr. "finger" freezes when it is asking
for user information.  

And tried and trie and the only thing I saw that FreeBSD and Linux has
different formats for their tables.

FreeBSD:

user:crypted_password:uid:gid::field1:fiel2:user_info:home_dir:shell

Linux:

user:crypted_password:uid:gid:user_info:home_dir:shell

I think it is very important...

Have you ever made this?
how?

Thanks in advance.
