If you migrate login records in the syslogins system
table in the master database from Solaris to Linux, you can use bcp with
character format. The login password from the Solaris platform is
compatible on Linux without a trace flag from this release. For
all other combinations and platforms, login records need to be re-created
because the passwords are not compatible.
