* * * Warning - Novice Alert! * * *

Sorry if you've seen this twice.  I don't think it managed to escape the gravity
of our news server last time.

We're reorganising a lot of our Netware servers this Summer and will be moving 
departments and individuals between them.  I'm told that when users are moved
they have to be issued with new passwords as their old ones can't be copied 
over.  Is there no way of dumping the bindery to a text file, extracting the
relevant details including the encrypted password, then reloading them into the
new bindery?

Many thanks for any assistance.

                        Chris
