Hi,

   I currently have a sun (with sunos 4.1.4) and use a couple of
daemon who work with password in passwd file.  They use a passwd
file created in a directory associate to a specific kind of access.
All my daemon work with the crypt call from DES and they also use
the setpwfile common to the old BSD system.  Now, I want to create
a backup machine for this sun on a PC with FreeBSD 2.0.5R.  I
just configure this machine and install DES.  What I need to be
all set is the way to configure BSD to use passwd file like
sunos do (crypted password in the file passwd) and to have
a setpwfile command.  Is it possible to do that and how can
I do that?

   Thank you very much.  I'll send a message with the final
solution if it's not already documented somewhere (point me
to this document if available).  Have a good day.
