Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I'm trying to migrate users across systems,BSDI to FREEBSD,moving the passwd and master.passwd files across the systems, the system (Freebsd) doesn't seem to pick it's passwords from this location,When you log in at first,it maintains the old password files,which at this point have been overwritten.Running vipw,gives the master.password file though. On adding a user,it seems to pick the other users,but doesn't allow logons. My suspicion is the encryption schemes are different across the systems.BSDI ver 2.1 and FreeBDS 2.2.5 I'd appreciate some advice on this Felix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
