the encrypted passwords are kept in /etc/master.passwd in FreeBSD.
the only problem between Linux and FreeBSD password files is that
FreeBSD has 3 extra fields between the group and the GEOS field.
a simple perl program or awk script can insert those fields:
# awk -F: '{print $1":"$2":"$3":"$4"::::"$5":"$6":"$7}' < Linux_passwd > FreeBSD.passwd
then make the /etc/master.passwd and /etc/passwd and database files:
# pwd_mkdb -p FreeBSD.passwd
--mark.
