How to migrate users and password in TCB environment?

[Philip Kime]

Greetings,
I have to migrate users from one box using TCB to another (11.00 to 11i too). Is it as simple as copying:

/etc/passwd
/tcb/auth
user home dirs

?

I'd backup the following on BOTH systems first if BOTH are currently trusted :

/.secure
/tcb
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
contents of /var/spool/cron

Once done you can tar the above along with /home and copy them into place moving out the way the originals on the second sever ...

Ensure more than one root terminal session is open during this process ... just in case things go wrong as you don't want to not have a back door.

Hi,

I have done it between 11i system by coping:

1. /etc/passwd
2. /etc/group
3. /tcb
4. /home

It works fine.

That did it, thanks
