this weekend, im going to have to rebuild my 6.0 server in order to recover from a faulty disk (i have to eliminate a RAID1 array, and break rebuild the RAID5 with one more disk). all my daemons and whatnot, im pretty good at recovering. sendmail, apache, mysql, etc, shouldnt be a problem. what i think i need help with is, what is the best way to recover my previous system's user accounts? this time around my server is going to go from piece-by-piece updates, to a full buildworld before i build all the daemons. can someone recommend a good way to recover my users, or dissertate how they go about doing it successfully? also, any tips outside of users that you think i might benefit from in a rebuild/redeploy, would also be appreciated! thanks a million, jonathan
