I have a new Centos installation that has an empty /home dir and there are no users...just root. I want to move the home directory from another server to the new one. At this time the old /home directory has been tarred with "-prf". That will keep permissions which could be a problem. Is there a simple way to move the /home directory? And the non-system users in the password and group files? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523
