Hello,

I've been tasked with migrating users from one linux server to another new linux server. This is how I was thinking of doing it:

1.) Open up an NFS connection between the two servers, cp -Rp /home/ to the new server and then append the old /etc/group & /etc/passwd to the existing files on the new server.

2.) I'll double check to see that no UID or GID will conflict, if so I'll deal with those problems on a one on one basis.

However, my problem is that many of my users are running httpd in their home directories, so when I migrate their accounts over, their daemons won't work. So, how do I fix this without having to re-install & configure 75 apaches? Is there a script out there that I don't know about. Have any of you done this before, and if substantially different or better than what I'm advocating, please advise.

Thanks.
