For old black and white negative film that should be enough.
Some modern black and white and colour negative films have
an orange mask that
must be filtered out before doing the conversion. There
tutorials on how to
do it using the gimp, but I imagine that you would prefer to
do it from the
command line. Perhaps there is an imagemagick guru in the
audience who can
explain us how to do it.
For positive film you should get immediately what you want,
but please note
that a "high quality scan", whatever that means,
would require a more
controlled process, namely in terms of exposure and colour
correction.

The default is to do a positive colour scan. I imagine that
the film is black
and white and the image looks black and white, but it is in
colour mode, i.e.
it has only white, black and gray pixels, but it could have
coloured ones.
