They have several hundred users. The format has not changed. merge the master.passwd from the 2.1.6 box with the new one from the 4.1 box using vi or any other editor. save the new file to /etc/master.passwd.new run pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd.new This will build /etc/pwd.db /etc/spwd.db and /etc/passwd and install a new /etc/master.passwd Greetings Christian Kratzer Toplink -- TopLink Internet Services GmbH ck@171.2.195.in-addr.arpa Christian Kratzer http://www.toplink.net/ Phone: +49 7032 2701-0 Fax: +49 7032 2701-19 FreeBSD spoken here!
