Thank you very much Alan... I will follow your suggestions... I think "chown -R" will be the solution... as you can see I am making elementary questions... I can't imagine what will it be to migrate 100+ users to a new Server. > > When a user is created, they are assigned (by default) a user id and a > group id. These are numbers. On Ubuntu they start at 1000 and go up. > Go into a user's home dir and type ls -n (It will list contents > showing user and group IDs rather than names.) > > You have two choices as far as I can see: > > * create the users in whatever order you like and simply "chown" the > data you copy over for them to the new user (this will change the id > to whatever it is for say user fred). > > * look in /etc/passwd, and optionally /etc/group, and get the id > numbers for each user and their group. Then create the users on your > new machine specifying their old group and user ids (obviously > checking that there are no conflicts with whatever is already present > on your new system first). See "man adduser" and/or "man useradd" for > more details on the options. > > HTH > > Al >
