hi, I'm running some servers and I would like to change one of the server with another box, that is more "up-to-date" regarding the CPU/Memory/Disk and OS... The old box is run by a RH6.0 and the new one will be a SuSE 7.0... the question is, how can I move all the users if i tell you that i don't want the passwords to be changed...
Hi, While making similiar transfer from Solaris2.6/Sparc to Suse7.0/i386 we had no problems :) It was near 1000 accounts and everything works now. But to be 100% sure try to copy few lines from old /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow (users whose passwords you know) to new box and try to login. I think it should work :) Regards, Tomasz Przewlucki
