The following should really only get the uid's (not the gids, parts of a password, comments and what not): for uid in $(jot - 2001 3000); do \ grep -E "^[^:]+:[^:]+:$uid:" /etc/master.passwd; done This doesn't migrate home dirs, but using the above and piping to: cut -f 9 -d ':' should give you a list of home dirs to work with. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

awk -F: '{if($4 > 3000) if($4 < 5000) print $0}' /etc/master.passwd
You should do it as root.

I'd probably sort /etc/master.passwd and pipe through awk:
sort -t ':' -k3,3n /etc/master.passwd | \
awk -F ':' '$3 ~ /^3[0-9][0-9][0-9]/, $3 ~ /^5/ { print }'
This will sort /etc/master.passwd numerically on the third field, uid, and
then give you all the lines starting with the first one where the uid is a
3 followed by at least three digits, up to and including the first one after
that where the first digit of the uid is a 5.
If you capture the output you should be able to merge it on the new host.

Then in theory cat accountstokeep.txt >> /etc/master.passwd followed by pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd should be enough. Again care should be taken that there are no conflicting accounts already in the /etc/master.passwd file. (a quick for uid in $(jot 2001 3000); do grep $uid /etc/master.passwd ; done on the new machine before adding to it should give you a quick check.) dont forget to ensure shells and home directories are available as needed Vince Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
