Re: [PLUG] Linux server migration headache

I created scripts that essentially push passwd, shadow, group, and 
gshadow files to other systems. I designed them not to copy accounts 
below UID 500. Really, it's better to do it manually.
Do the home directories exist with the proper ownership and permissions?

I need to move all the data from one linux server to another. I'm having
the most trouble with moving the user/group accounts. I thought copying
the differential into the passwd, shadow, group files would be enough -
yet it still doesn't allow migrated user logins. I'm wondering if the
servers use a different encryption key for the passwd or something.
Anyone know of a good resource to automate this process?
