Oops, to preserve permissions, links, etc more easily, "move contents of /oldhome to /home" should be:
cp -- preserve /oldhome/* /home
rsync - ar works a treat and preserves owner/modes.
Thank you everyone for filling in the blanks. I will give this a shot later tonight and see how it goes. Luckily /home does not have a bunch of data. I will try the rsync -ar and if not that the cp --preserve. Thanks, Brian
