I recently underwent a major rebuilding of the system which included replacing my 2.5 gig HDD with a 5 GIG primary and 3.1 GIG secondary HDD. previously i had all of my system on the 2.5 GIG HDD but i removed it and put it in another machine. I did a complete reinstall of 2.2.5 and cvsupped up to -stable made new kernel etc all of this went well. here is my question. How the heck do i still have my users on my system? for instance i never created a user "vagner" on this system but i did on the old system, there is no directory /home/vagner but i can still log in to the system as vagner...and it creates the directory for me! this seems impossible unless usernames are stored on the net or something?
