    HELP - I mean this sincerely.

    I have spent almost a week on and off trying to convert a plain text Unix
    password file (as you would use in Linux but an unshadowed version of it) to
    run under FreeBSD

    I understand the 3 extra fields required by FreeBSD and can convert
    accordingly.

    Would like to run a shell script to convert.

    If anybody could spare me some basic steps of what to do, would be much
    appreciated.
    Or I can send somebody the script we have developed thus far? which ever...I
    am now desperate, hence posting this message.

    Thanking you all in advance.

    John C
