There are tools out there to do it. I have seen some Perl scripts. What I did was to create my own python-script which was a very easy thing to do.

RE: Converting Linux passwd to FreeBSD
If your users use pop3, you could record their pop3 user name and passwords, since they are transmitted in clear text. Some pop3 servers can even log the username-password. That would get you most of the users, depending on the time frame (as some users will be away-dormant etc).

I'd say, as the passwords are cripted with a non reversible function, either both systems use the same function and you don't have to convert anything, else you're dead. There is no way to get the clear text password knowing the crypted one, so there is no way to convert. If they are not the same function you could always dictionary and brute force attack the passwords. In my experience this should get you most of the passwords. The ones you dont get you may have to have people assign a new password for themselves. I know it is not pretty, but if worst comes to worst.

Jonathan- Perfect! Thank you, I will give that a try today once I get 5.1 running. -Scott After spending a year converting my ISP to Linux I have had enough and am ready to come back home to FreeBSD.

Re: Converting Linux passwd to FreeBSD
Depending on the hash algorithm used you might not have to do anything except change some UIDs. Is 5.1 still using MD5 as default? and is your Linux using MD5 as default in the shadow file?
