[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi guys, howzit going? I work for an ISP in South Africa. Currently our dial-up users authenticate on a Netware 5 box running Radius services. We are moving our dial-up authentication to a FreeBSD box running Cistron radiusd. Is there any way to move the existing user accounts from Netware to FreeBSD so that I don't have to recreate +- 1000 user accounts on our FreeBSD box? Another way I thought about doing this was to install NDS for RedHat onto a RedHat Linux box and then somehow copy the /etc/passwd file to the FreeBSD box? Maybe this will work ? how do I do that ? Please help if you can :) Regards Dave Wilson www.pmburg.co.za [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2920.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi guys, howzit going?</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work for an ISP in South Africa.
