| From: Mike C <mike.cohler@xxxxxxxxx> | OK I will summarise: Thanks. It is useful to share hard-won knowledge. | cp passwd OLD/ | cp group OLD/ | cp shadow OLD/ | cp gshadow OLD/ | | chmod 600 shadow gshadow I would suggest: cp -p passwd group shadow gshadow OLD/ The -p preserves file attributes. I use it on most cp commands I issue. I always regret the fact that I forget to copy my sshd host keys over. But I always forget.
