Jasperson) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Migrating to new release of FreeBSD Date: 7 Jun 1995 11:25:58 GMT Organization: University of Rhode Island / The Vampyre Project Lines: 29 Message-ID: <3r42c6$ia6@bubbla.uri.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: 131.128.2.121 We are planning on moving our FreeBSD to a new platform, and in doing so we would like to upgrade from 1.1.5.1 to one of the more current releases. Three questions: 1) Which release would people recommend? 2) How well does FreeBSD run on a Nice little Pentium 90 with PCI bus? 3) Is there an easy way to move the /etc/master.passwd file to the new system. That is the biggest problem. This machine is used as an authentication server for a good number of project dialup users. I need to be able to keep their passwords intact after the upgrade. Any suggestions? If you know anything that could help me, could you please email me at impaler@vampyre.acc.uri.edu as my news access is sporatic at best thanks to lots of link upgrades in the area.
