Are there any ideas on how to transfer our users's accounts from the old to the new machine? I can backup/restore home dirs but what about the accounts and passwords. Can I follow the same process for /etc/passwd and shadow files? Thanks a lot, angel. *************************************************************** * Angelos Vasdaris * SparkNet S.A. * System Mgr * Al.
