Any > experiences/docs on this? Yes of course. I have migrated from /etc/master.passwd to LDAP. I've used MigrationTools and changed them to support FreeBSD /etc/master.passwd file. www.padl.com/download/MigrationTools.tgz A patch to migrate_common.ph is available from my web: www.iem.pw.edu.pl/~wielebap/ldap/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph.diff A have created a new migrate_masterpasswd.pl (changed migrate_passwd.pl) www.iem.pw.edu.pl/~wielebap/ldap/migrationtools/migrate_masterpasswd.pl You can also use pam_ldap to migrate password hash from one to another hash format: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=71289 www.iem.pw.edu.pl/~wielebap/ldap/pam_ldap/pam_ldap_doc.pdf (section 1) It may be helpful to see PRs: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/73448 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/72867 Pawel Wieleba P.Wieleba_at_iem.pw.edu.plReceived on Mon Nov 15 2004 - 08:42:59 UTC
