Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I've there got one remaining SuSE Linux 6.3 server (rebuilt some others from scratch) which needs to get migrated to FreeBSD in the next time. However, I definitively need to preserve the passwords of the non priviledged users. So now my question is: may I just merge /etc/passwd with /etc/shadow and generate a new master.passwd for the FreeBSD setup (not sure about the involved encryption issues)? What about diskquotas? May I copy quota.users and quota.groups over or should I better rebuild them?
