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
