I want to move some BSDI machine users onto a Linux machine, keeping their same username, files, and (hopefully) password. I'm guessing that it's simply a matter of making Linux encode passwords like BSDI does. Does BSDI 2.0.1 use DES encryption (how can I find out), and is similar encryption available for Linux (where)? Thanks. Pete Kruckenberg pete@inquo.net
