I have a FreeBSD 5.4 system and would like to migrate users in the

hmm very roughly just a
for uid in $(jot 2001 3000); do grep $uid /etc/master.passwd >
accountstokeep.txt ; done
should extract the accounts from the old server (no error checking
though so if any other account has a gid in the range 3000 to 5000 it
will also be caught.
Then in theory
cat accountstokeep.txt >> /etc/master.passwd
followed by
pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
should be enough.
Again care should be taken that there are no conflicting accounts
already in the /etc/master.passwd file.
(a quick
for uid in $(jot 2001 3000); do grep $uid /etc/master.passwd ; done
on the new machine before adding to it should give you a quick check.)
dont forget to ensure shells and home directories are available as needed
