Is there an easy way to copy all the user accounts and existing mail from the old server to the new one?
if local users copy /home/* /etc/passwd /etc/shadow after first making sure there are no dupes on new system
I usually do this with yank/paste in vi or whatever, just cutting/copying the user entries, and leaving the standard accounts on the new system alone. of course, be sure to copy the exact same entries into /etc/shadow!
