Subject:   How to move user account from Sun to FreeBSD - psw crypting
Message-ID:  <v01510100ab315d589126@[130.234.41.34]>

I would like to copy user accounts (username, passwd and home dir) from a
Sun to FreeBSD machine.

The passwd seems to be a problem.

I know that I can copy the crypted passwd from Sun's /etc/shadow to Linux's
/etc/passwd directly and it works. But I did try same with FreeBSD (vipw)
and it did not work. The same crypted passwd appears in /etc/master.passwd
as it is in Sun's /etc/shadow as it should.

Can you help me?

Is there NIS/YP in FreeBSD, does it work with Sun?
