I need to migrate users to HP-UX

[Daniel Arredondo]

Hi..

I need to migrate tru64's user accounts to
Hp-ux. has anyone done this.

With a simple scripting you could do this, the password field probably should be changed, and forced to change at next logon, but, now that you are migraging users, have you considered the use of a directory database like LDAP?

Thank you, for replying...

we are going to - but we can't - the application - is lawson lsf 9.0 - we are
stuck for now - which requires laua security
this upgrade requires the user accounts to
be in place before the install.
what i'm worried about is the passwd file..
its c2 security.
what about uid...

The script could be created with commands like this:


awk -F ":" '{ print "groupadd -g",$3,$1 }' /etc/group > /tmp/groupadd.sh


awk -F ":" '$3 > 15 { print "useradd -u",$3,"-g",$4,"-c '",$5,"' -d",$6,$1 }' /etc/passwd > /tmp/useradd.sh

Check the sh files created before runing it. You can modify these sample commands to fit your needs.
