Hi, It does support /etc/passwd to cdb, that is for sure. I use it all the time to convert old sendmail installations to qmail. Bit of a drag having to replace the passwd file though, I wish it could read from another file in passwd format.
>From reading through the source it appears to use built in functions, limiting you to the real /etc/passwd file. I know this doesn't help with your MySQL import, but it does work passwd -> cdb.

I didn't think vconvert supported /etc/passwd users, just going from cdb to sql, etc. I'd have to look at the source, though. Bill
