Hi Folks,

In the next 48 hours or so I'll be pulling down my old faithfull 
FreeBSD 1.1.5.1  I guess it's been running for the best part of two years 
now with minimal problems.

I have had a play with 2.1R and like it a lot.  The only thing that 
concerns me is that 2.1R can't seem to read my 1.1.5.1 passwd file.  Rather 
than get all my users to rekey their passwords is there some clear way to 
bring this file accross?  Is it possible I am running DES on 1.1.5.1 and 
not on 2.1R ?  

Any advice would be appreciated.

Robert
