I'm going to upgrade our mail/www-server. It's now running a very old version of Linux, and on the new server I want to run FreeBSD. My question is if there is an easy way of moving the user accounts from Linux to FreeBSD? Can I just copy the password file and home directory? Or is there some other way to do this? Any other things I should have in mind when doing this? TIA /Jakob Alvermark ------------------------------------------------------- Teligent AB, P.O.
