Hello folks,

I'm still trying to back this linux server up to my netbsd box.  I 
already tarred up the home directories and everything else.  Except 
the password file.  Now, I'm aware that netbsd and linux use 
different formats, but my main problem seems to be that the linux box 
uses DES and my netbsd box uses MD5 for passwords.  I already have 20 
or so accounts on my netbsd box.  Is there a way I can add the ~500 
or so user accounts/passwd entries from my linux box to the netbsd 
passwd file?  How can I convert them to MD5?  Or can I just change 
the cipher in passwd.conf on my netbsd box to DES...and will that 
ruin the old accounts on the netbsd passwd file that were added with 
MD5?

I really need to get this done soon, so any help is much appreciated.

(PS does anyone have a script/application that will convert linux 
passwd files to netbsd format?)
