Thanks, just sending the text files and then running pwd_mkdb works. But, the man page warns of concurrency problems if the necessary locking is not performed. Unfortunately, I'm no programmer. I'll work on creating a script to handle the locking and hopefully I won't overlook something obvious. Is there a better way to migrate the user information from BSD/OS to FreeBSD? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
