Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to FreeBSD 3.2 by installing it from scratch onto a new system. That worked fine. The old FreeBSD 2.2.7 box has 20+ userid accounts and passwords I wish to have on the new box. Simply copying the /etc files over is not working. /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/master.passwd /etc/spwd.db Is there an easy way to migrate the accounts from the FreeBSD 2.2.7 box to the FreeBSD 3.2 box? The pwd_mkdb command seems to have failed me as well. Perhaps the master.passwd file format is different between 2.2.X and 3.2?
