[vchkpw] moving servers
I am moving from one server to a new and was wondering what I need to do to move my users from the old server to the new. I am thinking I need to move the /etc/passwd,/etc/master.passwd and /etc/group then move the domain directory in /home/vpopmail/domains/. Would that work and do I need to make sure that all the uid's and gid's match for spamassassin, clamav and the others? Thanks for any help, Jon

Well alright, I just woke up about 2 hours ago and have almost finished this move, dang flu is killing me! I have found that all I had to do was move the /home/vpopmail/domains/ folder to the new server. I checked all the users and group ID's and they were exactly the same on both machines so I didn't need to move the passwd files or the group files. Apparently vpopmail stores it's passwd file inside of the directory of the domain it is hosting so user passwords are intact from the move. So what I ended up doing was just to scp the domain folder over and chown it to the correct uid:gid and restart qmail. Was that ever easy! Thanks for the help and the replies, it's always nice to have someone holding your hand when you are doing something your not sure of. :) Jon

The guy that maintains it even updates all the pkgs just about as soon as they come out. I emailed him after one install and he emailed me back, so he is paying attention if you have problems. Also, qmail does rock! Jon
