Is there any way to "move" the password file over from Linux to FreeBSD without having to re-encrypt the user's passwords. Basically I'm looking to migrate a box with an application that runs out of a number of captive shell accounts, so other than the Berkeley copyright message, the end-user should not see any difference in the application.
