I have a need of transfering about twenty user accounts from FreeBSD to
Linux(Debian)  

Is there any way of keeping the PAM passwords in tact? (A tool that
allows for migration in either direction would be ideal)

My current solution is tell everyone that their password has expired and
they need to type in a new one.
