After my debacle with the PAE kernel=2C I am building the mail server anew.= I had used webmin's user batch file thing to generate the users on the te= mporary system=2C but there were some issues with that. =20 If I have a good copy of /etc/passwd=2C /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd= =2C is there a better way to move the users? =20 I saw a very breif website that said to use this method: =20 " Move user entries from the following old files:=20 /etc/passwd/etc/group/etc/master.passwd=20 Then run the following command to rebuild the password database:=20 pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd =20 " =20 Is this the proper way? If not=2C what is the correct way to do this with = Freebsd (7.0)? =20 Thank you=2C Brad _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live=99 Hotmail=AE: Chat. Store.
