Are you moving users from one server to another, or simply upgrading the packages on the existing server?

Concerning passwords, there is no difference between shadow files between 4.x and 5.x.

Concerning mbox -- this is the default UNIX mailbox format. If you are intending to use IMAP or some sort of webmail, it's best to keep the mbox format first, then separately migrate the mail system. However, out of the box, I doubt the CentOS distribution will change mail formats on you.

Concerning Blue Quarts/Cpanel -- I have no idea.

The only thing to watch out for is that sometimes the user id's in the /etc/passwd files change. I'm talking the lower id's -- under 500. If you have any real users with user-id's less than 200, be careful. The same goes for groups (/etc/group) you have created.

NAME
getclose - Find PRs fixed in a particular release SYNOPSIS
getclose [OPTIONS] MIGRATION FREEZE LASTFREEZE DESCRIPTION
getclose uses the three dates specified on the commandline to find and label PRs fixed in a particular release. MIGRATION -- the date of the migration for the current release FREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the current release LASTFREEZE -- the date of the freeze for the previous release RESULTS
FIXED:foo:1234:the synopsis MAYBE:bar:1235:the synopsis Those marked FIXED were closed before the migration into the current release. Those marked as MAYBE were closed after the migration, but before the freeze; thus, the fix may or may not have made it into the current release. These need to be researched to find out if the changes, if any, were included. OPTIONS
-h, --help Prints a brief usage message for getclose. -V, --version Prints the version number for getclose. -d DATABASE, --database=DATABASE Specifies the database containing the PR to be edited; if no database is specified, the database named default is assumed. This option overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment variable. GNATS network options: -H HOSTNAME, --host=HOSTNAME Hostname of the GNATS server. -P PORT, --port=PORT The port that the GNATS server runs on. -v USERNAME, --username=USERNAME Username used to log into the GNATS server. -w PASSWORD, --passwd=PASSWORD Password used to log into the GNATS server. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access. For network access via gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated list of strings that describe the remote database, in the form server:port:databasename:username:password Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear; otherwise, the value is assumed to be the name of a local database. If GNATSDB is not set, it is assumed that the database is local and that its name is default. SEE ALSO
Keeping Track: Managing Messages With GNATS (also installed as the GNU Info file gnats.info) databases(5), dbconfig(5), delete-pr(8), edit-pr(1) file-pr(8), gen-index(8), gnats(7), gnatsd(8), mkcat(8), mkdb(8), pr-edit(8), query- pr(1), queue-pr(8), send-pr(1). COPYING
