Hi,

I have an old RH6.0 box from which I'd like to export all the accounts to a brand new SuSE 7.2 box. here's the method I'd like to apply :

Create the accounts with yast
copying the /etc/passwd file from RH6.0 to SuSE 7.2
Copying the /etc/shadow file from RH6.0 to SuSE 7.2

Most of the accounts are customers accounts and I don't have all the passwd, so I don't want to miss one thing.... Regarding roots and internal accounts, everything is ok, I have the passwds....

Is the process correct, is it enough ? is there a simpler way to do this all ?

Thanx
Stephane
