Run this script on the linux machine, then edit the output file to get
rid of the system accounts, once that is done scp that file across to
the bsd machine and you could simply cat filename >> /etc/master.passwd
&& pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd . The reason this has to be run on the
linux machine is due to how it grabs the system accounts.
