Hey everyone, Let's say I've got a server running some distribution of Linux and I'm going to change to a different distro on that same box. I've got a separate /home partition, so users' directories will be unaffected. Distro A and B might have a different set of daemon "users" in /etc/passwd and may use different standard UIDs and GIDs for users. How can I make the users' accounts continue to work with their old passwords after I reinstall the system? Using the same /etc/passwd file causes problems because of the differences I mentioned above. Is there a standard approach? -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
