+++ Scott St. John [freebsd] [28-02-04 14:15 -0500]: | Thanks to help from this list I am proud to say that tonight I will be | moving our mail server from Linux/Sendmail to FreeBSD/Postfix! The user | passwd file has been converted and we are ready to rock, but I have a few | questions before I begin tonight. | | I plan to copy the users home directories over, does anyone have a script | that will go through the home directories and correctly set the ownership of | the directories once they are copied over? Example, user Fred has a home | dir on the old machine, I copy over the files to the BSD box, I need to | chown -R fred:users to his home directory. I could do it by hand, but I am | sure there has to be a script out there to do something similar? tar -cvf test.tar <userdir_on_linux> then tar -xvpf <userdir_on_bsd> | | Second question, I want to make sure ALL files are copied over from the home | directories and I think I have the syntax wrong to get the files, I want | the .procmailrc files to transfer over. i think dotfiles are included while you tar. Shantanoo | | Thanks in advance! | | -Scott | | | ------------------------------
