Hello list I have a system with around 50 user accounts on it. I'd like to avoid having to reset passwords and recreate all accounts for the users. I am backing up /home and /usr/local/www/. What I want to do is to blat the old installation, install a basic 5.3 system, restore the dumps and make a new passwd database from the old master.passwd. Is it possible to restore/merge master.passwd across the revision boundary? Do I have to do the same with /etc/groups? thanks -- John - jfm@reiteration.net - http://www.reiteration.net/~jfm For PGP public key finger jfm@reiteration.net or see webpage
