	I am running a BSDi 2.0.1 system and a FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system and
I would like to be able to rdist the passwd files between the two.  Is there any
way to accomplish this?  Currently if the passwd file is copied between the two,
the passwords are not recognized when logging in.
	Thanx,
	Craig Norborg
