Dear all,
Hi all, I guess i can ask this question here mandrake is similar to RH ?...
I have two Rh6.2 system Kernel 2.2.14, (and I guess the
installatoin disc are the same one too).
I want to move:
1) User accounts (around 1200), and
2) Their files (webpage, email inbox)
to the another RH system, where it has little users and files, and plenty
free HHD space.
Since the desination server has little users, i guess it is okay coz the
userid
would not overlay too much. (Userid below 500 are system account, and
they have similar setting on the two system)
My solution was:
To append /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group to the desntination
system. (with some manual editing)
Outcome:
It is fine for passwd and group file. But the /etc/shasow file is locked.
I sued as root and checked lsattr, they went fine. I guess the kernel (or
something is lock it up?). I tried fuser /etc/shadow and it gave no clue.
Since i am not able to shutdown these two server for long time or dis-
assemble them, what should i do if I want to do things this way?
Please help and thanks.
simonli.
