Hi all,

I am replacing an old Linux box by a new FreeBSD install and am trying
to create a master.passwd file from the existing passwd/shadow files.

This is a common task, but all the webpages I found on the subject
advised to use the Linux tool `pwunconv' which merges the passwd and
shadow file into an unshadowed passwd file. Unfortunately this program
throws away the existing shadow files, and I don't want to tamper with
the Linux box itself.

Are there any scripts available to convert passwd+shadow to the FreeBSD
equivalent?

thanks,
w.
