    Well I souldn't have given up on Google so soon.
            
             cut -d: -f1-4,8- /etc/master.passwd > linux.passwd
            
             copy or append linux.passwd to /etc/passwd on the linux box
            
             Then run "pwconv" on the linux machine.
            
    merging /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd on a Linux computer will give you
    /etc/master.passwd for FreeBSD.

    I wish all my operating systems played together as nice as Debian and
    FreeBSD.
