moving users to new puter
Hello! I'm moving all lusers from old server to new. What files and directories I need to copy? /usr/home of course and /etc/passwd and /etc/group. But where are actually passwords stored? group and passwd only show * in password space. And is there something else to remember? -- kpn @ IRCnet ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In addition to those, I'd want to hold on to /etc/printcap, /etc/ntp.conf and /var/mail. /etc/hosts too, if you're using it. Basically anything from /etc that you've customized that isn't machine-specific. Possibly some things from /usr/local/etc as well, depending on your application. -- Chris Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** [ Busy Expunging | ] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Moving users
Hi, I need to move users from one machine to another and keep their passwords intact. I've added a test user to Server-Source and a test user to Server-Destination and copied the password hash from /etc/master.password on Server-Source and pasted it into master.password on Server-Destination, but the login fails. I've also searched the archive with no luck. Any suggestions appreciated.
