Duane, If this is only a software upgrade I would suggest running a make world on your current box. FreeBSD accounts or vpopmail accounts? I've never tried to migrate system accounts, I would assume that this would entail setting up ldap/kerberos/nis or some type of sso service. Vpopmail should be easy, just copy over your vpopmail installation directory and then run the "upgrade" on the new server to the same directory. You might want to check on the vpopmail part of that, but that's how I would do it.

So it'sa migration + upgrade (as the new server will get new installs of all the current software programs I use) Thanks again for your help. -D PS On this same note, is there an easy way to migrate freebsd user accounts from one machine to another? > ------------Original Message------------- > From: "Max Clark" <max.clark@media.net> > To: "Duane Stark" <duane@drasticproductions.com> > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Date: Mon, Jul-28-2003 1:37 PM > Subject: RE: Qmail Upgrade > > Duane, > > The qmail version has not changed in years.
