If all you want to do is move the "data", you should be able to write a awk or perl script in a few minutes that would suck in the old info, and rewrite it in the new format. Of course, your passwords probably won't work in the new system, so those will probably all have to be reset, manually, once you've successfully moved all the rest of the data to a new passwd file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
