-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of David Bear Sent: 24 April 2003 06:29 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: batchmode adding user accounts I have migrated a linux box to freebsd. I would like to add all the user accounts from linux to bsd but the format of /etc/passwd vs master.password is problematic. what I would like to try is pull out the user id from my old passwd file and somehow batchmode add them to my new system. I can use awk to get the old ids. But is there utility that will accept a list of user ids to add to master.password? -----End of Original Message----- I used http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq9.html#passwd to migrate. Works great. Another thing that's useful for merging existing servers together - Linux provides "usermod" which will allow you to change the UID/GID for a user to save clashes. Regards, Jonathan
