Sorry, but your question still seems a little open ended. Lets start with identifiying some of the details of your problem:

1) Is your file a binary file, or ASCII file?
2) What identifies a particular account or entry? e.g. account number
3) What is the record structure for an account or entry?

In general terms you may want to consider using the sed or awk command. Read the contents of your file from standard input. The sed or awk commands will allow you to subsitute some of the input stream as you send it to standard output.

secauthmigrate

secauthmigrate(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 secauthmigrate(8)

NAME

       secauthmigrate - Convert ULTRIX auth(5) authentication data to authcap(4) authentication data  (Enhanced Security)

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/secauthmigrate [options] files

       ... | /usr/sbin/secauthmigrate [options] -

DESCRIPTION

       The secauthmigrate utility reads records from the specified files or from standard input (-).  These records must be formatted according to
       the ULTRIX auth(Section 5) format.  These can be generated by getauth on ULTRIX, or (for the Hesiod/BIND  master  host)	can  be  found	in
       /var/dss/namedb/src/auth.   For	each  authentication  record found, secauthmigrate will attempt to find a matching username record for the
       given UID.  If that translation can be performed, an authcap(4) entry for the extended profile information for that user  is  created  from
       the  data  in  the input record.  If the extended profile entry already exists, then the converted entry is left in /tcb/files/auth/?/user-
       name:ULT rather than overwrite the entry in /tcb/files/auth/?/username.

       If ROOTDIR is defined, it is used instead of / as the root of the directory tree when creating the /tcb/files/auth/?/* files.

FLAGS

       -v     Indicate successful conversions on standard output.

       -U     Give a long usage message.

ERRORS

       Failed to find name for UID # xxxx -- skipped
       No BSD style (/etc/passwd or NIS data) account exists. If you need this account, create a BSD style account and run secauthmigrate again.

       Existing file for username -- conversion saved in /tcb/files/auth/?/username:ULT
       Extended profile already exists. Compare the files to determine the differences.  If the differences are not related to the  password,  use
       the  dxaccounts	program  to  update  the  existing  file.   If	the  differences  are related to the password, disable logins and edit the
       /tcb/files/auth/?/username file.

       secauthmigrate -- unrecognized option '${opt}'
       The option you provided was not recognized.  The options are -v and -U.

       Usage: secauthmigrate [options] files
	   (Try secauthmigrate -U for help.)
       The -U option provides extensive help.

FILES

       ${ROOTDIR}/tcb/files/auth/?/*

RELATED INFORMATION

       authcap(4), prpasswd(4)

       auth(Section 5) and getauth(Section 8) on ULTRIX.
