Your shadow file won't contain the domain information will it? I had this same scenario when converting from a sendmail install to qmail/vpopmail/mysql. I didn't use vconvert or http://www.enderunix.org/vpwd2sql/. I have a three step process that worked very well for me if : a - you have a list of domains. b - you know what users belong to what domain. I can detail it off-list if you're interested. Jason
