* curl@tcc-comp.com.au <curl@tcc-comp.com.au> [20011122 10:41]: writing on the subject 'combining passwd files'
|
| Hello.
|
| I need to combine the passwd files from a FreeBSD 2.2.6 system, and a RedHat
| Linux 6.1 system into the current passwd file on a new FreeBSD 4.4 system
| that i'm building.
|
| What's the best way to goabout this?
Hello Stephen,
I was in a similar situation a while back and someone gave me this procedure:
##
run pwunconv on the Linux end, copy it over to freebsd, run
awk < passwd.linux > /etc/master.passwd 'BEGIN { FS = ":"} { print $1 ":" $2
":" $3 ":" $4 "::0:0:" $5 ":" $6 ":" $7 }'
run pwd_mkdb, and you should be set.
##
I did not quite use it because some guys had done most of the stuff manually.
Lemme know if that helps.
