Hello all, Ive inherited control of two linux boxes at work which provide essentially nothing more than mail and ftp access to a bunch of external customers. We host their domains on these two servers and they either pop-off or access their email through squirrelmail. To make a really long story short, we're looking to setup two boxes in parallel, migrate the data, test for a week or so, and then switch the old boxes out. I know enough in Linux and FreeBSD to get by, but I have a bit more experience with FreeBSD and love how easy it is to install new apps, update apps, etc. My question is this: are there any known good procedures on how to migrate roughly 200 users on a RedHat 6.2 linux server over to a FreeBSD server? Im looking basically to retain their username/passwords and their mail. Everything else is going to be installed from scratch using FreeBSD 4.7. Thanks in advance for any ideas/help.
