Subject: Saving user accounts on reinstall
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 10:27:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <015c01c405eb$17ae0330$530a0a0a@rutgersinsurance.com> (raw)
I am looking to reinstall an email server. I want to keep my user accounts
and passwords and transfer them to the new server. Is it as easy as copying
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and the /var/spool/mail directory?
