I know this has been covered before, but the search mechanism
at the mailing list archive doesn't seem to work (zero matches for
the word: password).

I've got a 5.3 system and a 6.2 system.  I want to migrate the user
accounts from the 5.3 to the 6.2.  They use different encryption
mechanisms for the password in master.password.

Other that running a cracker, is there a way to upconvert the
old to the new?

Thanks,
