I would be immensely suprised if /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow changed formats; they might have different UIDs, however, so you might want to manually merge in changes. /etc/ssh_config is where the system keys reside -- copy over at least those (otherwise all the clients that have logged in to this box before will complain of a man-in-the-middle attack), and then walk through the new configuration file making sure important defaults (e.g. "ForwardX11 yes") are preserved. Of course, if the ssh version hasn't changed, you ought to be able to copy over the whole ssh_config directory.

I don't have an RH box nearby, but there ought to be an rpm command that will dump the names of all the installed packages. -Stewart "pkginfo --list" Stremler -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
