[SunHELP] migrate users

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

I have tried to do this before with no luck.

I think the problem was that the Linux distro I was using used MD5 for =
the
passwords, where the Solaris machine used crypt (which wasn't using =
MD5).

You are going to have to recreate the users from scratch, I believe. I
have moved /etc/shadow files from Linux to Linux, but when I tried to
move them from Linus to Solaris, the shadow file did not work. I ended
up having to redo all the passwords for the users anyway.

Unless there is a convertor out there (Anyone?), you could make a =
script
that reads in users and sets up their account with 'useradd' and all =
the
options you want and then runs them through passwd.
