Do you need to preserve user/file permissions? This would seem to be the more difficult task in migration...
may be easier to install on a seperate machine if that is a viable option to complete this process and not screw anything up... if it is a large number of users, the product DAS LSP can automatically assist in the transfer of users, passwords and files from NT 4 to red hat linux. might be a small price to pay ($90) to save hours of recreating user accounts... I've never used this product but the review on zdnet looks interesting, although it looks a little old... someone may have written a free utility to accomplish the same. http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2809945,00.html http://www.das.com.tw/ good luck!
