Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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. -- Walter Hop | +31 6 24290808 | PGP keyid 0x84813998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
