Thank you Tru64 Managers.

All of the replies said the files are compatible between 4.0 and 4.0e.
I'm surprised that this is the case. After I did a fresh install of
4.0e onto a box, the encrypted password field looked different on the
root account on the 4.0 machine but the password is the same. I'm going
to copy the end users entrees /etc/passwd data from the 4.0 machine to
the 4.0e machine.

This file isn't going to go though an update procedure.

Thank you all for your time. Thanks goto
