I am moving to a new server and trying to maintain user,uid, and gid info. I have the entire /etc directory tar'd and am wondering when I get to the new server what I need as far as to maintain the user info files. I am thinking passwd, master.passwd, and group. After I move these files I run pwd_mkdb - p /etc/master.passwd. Is there any need to copy spwd.db and pwd.db? If I understand it correctly these will be created/updated when I run pwd_mkdb. Also, is there a better way to sync these files from one server to another? Thanks, Lewis
