[rhn-users] account migration to RH

[Hopson, Russell]

Hi Todd,

I use an update user script which looks to the passwd and shadow file to
create new users.  I have attached the script to this email.  Copy it
into the directory on the RH system that has the passwd and shadow file
from Solaris and then type ./update_user.  It worked fine with RHEL AS
3.

Good luck.

Russ

Subject: [rhn-users] account migration to RH 

Im trying to find a straight foward way to migrate about 6000 accounts
from solaris 7 and 8 to new machines running Redhat Enterprise 3.  I do
not have to worry about moving any data just accounts and passwords. 
Has anyone found a good way of doing this?

Thanks
Todd Richmond
