Hello everyone,
I'm currently moving data from one machine to another and would like to move over all my users logins with ease. I've never done it before, but I assume if I copy all of these files from my old server to my new one, all should work well.
Here's what I *think* I should move:
/etc/passwd /etc/passwd- /etc/gshadow /etc/gshadow- /etc/gshadow.lock /etc/shadow /etc/shadow-
Is this correct? I'm moving a RH9 box to another RH9 box and a FC1 to and FC2 box. I figured it should be the same for each of the three versions.
Anyone actually done this and can offer help?
You don't need the files that end with ~ and the .lock files. Also you should copy /etc/group
Thanks, Kevin
