Dear All,
I have been running linux 9 server as a dns and mail server and is workin fine..
i want to install CENTOS 5 with all the latest mail server software and bind as well as all the libraries on another machine whic is already done
also the data is backed up and will be tranferred.
but i would like to know
i have about existing 100 mail users
how could i tranfer these usernames and passwrd to the new CENtos 5 server ..
if i copy the /etc/passwd from my linux server it gonna overite my centos5 /etc/passwd file as there r new users n also new groups create when i installed centos5 n software also i see that the /etc/shadow has only read permisson for root so cant be over written
is there a way i cd possiblly have the existing users with thier password on centos5 so i dont have to ask them for their passwords n create all users again
appreciat ur help
Thanks and regards
simon
