Re: accounts

[KoReE <koree@ameth.org>]

I've done this several times.  I always just copy the passwd and shadow
files into the new file, avoiding any duplicate entries (root, ftp, etc).
Then I copy the homedirs over, and I'm pretty much done.  Never had any
problem with doing it this way.

I was walkin' down the street,
when I thought I heard this voice say,
"Say, ain't we walkin' down the same street,
together on the very same day",
And I said,
"Hey senorita, that's astute", I said,
"Why don't we get together and call ourselves an institute"
