Migrate users from 1 Solaris 10 to a different Solaris 10 server
Hello,
I have to backup users from one server and put them on another server. I have tried cp -pr, copied over the passwd, group, shadow and appended the users from the old server to the new servers files, rebooted and still can't login. The server accepts that new accounts are there but not the password. Once I reset the password it works fine. I have tried using rsync on the directories but it won't keep the owner/group.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
