Well, you can cut/paste all the >500 UID/GID combos from /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. Since the salt and everything will be the same, users won't even have to change their passwords. Make sure to pull their home drives as well. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
