Importing a foreign passwd file to FreeBSD

[Paul Hoffman]

Hi again. I'm setting up a new FreeBSD system to replace an old 
NetBSD one. I want to import all the users and their passwords. As an 
experiment on a test box, I tried importing the master.passwd and 
passwd file from the NetBSD box, that FreeBSD won't let me log in; I 
always get "Login incorrect". Nothing is logged in /var/log/anything, 
so I don't know why the login attempts are failing. The users' home 
directories are created, and they're in proper groups.

Is this possible to do?
