Well I souldn't have given up on Google so soon.

 cut -d: -f1-4,8- /etc/master.passwd > linux.passwd

 copy or append linux.passwd to /etc/passwd on the linux box

 Then run "pwconv" on the linux machine.

merging /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd on a Linux computer will give you
/etc/master.passwd for FreeBSD.

I wish all my operating systems played together as nice as Debian and
FreeBSD.

converting users from FreeBSD to linux (PAM)

2004-02-29 Thread Micheas Herman
I have a need of transfering about twenty user accounts from FreeBSD to
Linux(Debian)  

Is there any way of keeping the PAM passwords in tact? (A tool that
allows for migration in either direction would be ideal)

My current solution is tell everyone that their password has expired and
they need to type in a new one.
