Hi

Is there a way of copying the password file accross from a 
FreeBSD 1.1.5 system to a 2.0 system, and fixing the problem
I installed 2.0 on one of my systems and now wnat to migrate
all the users over to it from the 1.1.5 system. The problem
is that 2.0 does not recognise the passwords when entered.

Is there a way of fixing this, with out having to change the 
password of every single user. This could really irritate
them.

Thanking you.

Justin
