[BlueOnyx:05276] Importing users from old /etc/passwd

I have a very old FreeBSD server with several hundred active mail boxes that
I was looking into migrating to BlueOnyx.

The users are stored in the usual FreeBSD /etc/passwd and /etc/master.password
files, however the passwords are all in the old DES56 crypt as they came from an
even older Linux system orignally!


Does anyone know of a way to import hundreds of user accounts in such a
format to BlueOnyx?
