Subject:   Moving passwd file to another system

I have moved the master.passwd file from a FreeBSD 2.1.0 system to a FreeBSD
3.3 system and all seems to work fine. Users can  login with no problem, but
in closer inspection I notice that accounts manually moved but which have
the same passwd and the root user's passwd(which has not changed) hash are
different on each system. Does anyone know the reason for this? If the one
way crypt has changed how can the old master.passwd file satisfactorily be
pasted into the new one?
