   We are slowly moving over to BSDI for our servers. We have ran BSDI for 
some time as a DNS/WEB/NEWS server. The question I have is, what can I do 
to move our passwd data to BSDI from Linux? I am under the assumtion 
the two OS's do the password encryption differently. And is there an 
easy<G> way to  get all the user directories created? The Linux vs. BSDI 
home directories are not the same as far as contents so I can't just tar 
them and move them over.
