Yes, it is.

Also, you need to have your complete passwd/shadow files in the database
so that the svc_acct.export script generates complete files. 

If you have things in your password file that it doesn't like, the data
checks are in site_perl/svc_acct.pm.  You need to change those data checks
if they aren't correct for you particular installation, or fix your
passwd/shadow file if you have incorrect stuff in there.  If you like,
send over the shell and username columns from your passwd file and I'll
try and see why it doesn't match.

You also need to make sure you've set $pop_shell, $shell_svcpart and
$popmail_svcpart in svc_acct.import and that in the administration
section, all these svcparts have their slipip set as "Fixed" (with the
value either empty for no SLIP/PPP or 0.0.0.0 for dynamic)

Sorry for the lack of documentation on this whole process.  If it makes
you feel any better, I'm using much of this thread as documentation in the
next verison.  :)
