Assuming you were using FreeBSD before, probably this would be enough: - copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files from old system to new - run pwd_mkdb - tar up the home directories, mail spools, crontabs, and (if you want) temporary files on the old system - untar them on the new system If you do the last step before the first, the untarred files will probably end up owned by root.wheel. __ Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
