User and Passwords on 2 Machines

[Mark Allen_3]

In addition to the L2000 machine, we have recented purchased an L3000.

What I'm basically wanting to do is have the users and passwords from the L2000 copied to the L3000 machine. Is there a way of doing this, restoring some files? Or do I have to re-enter the users and their passwords manually.

In the end I would like them to be synchronized, incase 1 machine goes down the other can be put into production with few probs(at least at the user login level).

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Here is the thread for your reference.

If your systems are not trusted, then even simple just ignoring /tcb copying.

Good luck.

I did everything from the link but can't log in as users from passwd file. I can see them in sam though.

How do I change back to untrusted system... can't seem to find anything on that... it is late in the day though.

I figured it out. Thanks

In SAM, go Auditing and Security, go Audited Events, highlight any line in this window, within this window, Actions, Unconvert the System...you can go back to untrusted system.

Only in trusted system /tcb exists. If your system is nontrusted, do:

1. copy /etc/group from old to new
2. copy /etc/passwd from old to new
3. tar /home on old system
4. untar /home tar file of old system onto new system

You are all set.
Good luck.
