I'm in the process of migrating a server from Linux to FreeBSD 2.1.
Is there any way to "move" the password file over from Linux to FreeBSD
without having to re-encrypt the user's passwords. Basically I'm looking to
migrate a box with an application that runs out of a number of captive shell
accounts, so other than the Berkeley copyright message, the end-user should
not see any difference in the application.
