Thanks for you all,
I will do this step.

Hi,
I would suggest you to try the below and make sure this
works
1 ) Install a new freebsd server
2 ) create a user on your linux machine say with
username
freebsd and some
password
3 ) now copy the data in your /etc/passwd file of linux
machine to freebsd
machine
4 ) Also copy the /etc/shadow file to freebsd server and
renmae it as
/etc/master.passwd
5 ) Also copy /etc/groups
6 ) Now try to login to freebsd machine with the new
user
created on the
linux machine.
Note : Please create a copy of the original file on
freebsd machine before
you change the real file
If the test is successful. I suppose you can migrate
from
linux to freebsd
with all the users and their passwords.
Also while coping the file make sure that the default
enteries are there.
That just transfer the user details and not the system
user details

Make sure you don't have >16 chars username before
migrating. FreeBSD
doesn't support really long usernames.
