I am working with a customer who needs to migrate thousands of users
from a SUN system to DU V4.0B.
Are there any scripts around that kan make this less painful?

Sorry - I missed a significant piece of the information.
It is the user accounts I want to migrate - the applications are in the
process of happening. Can I copy the /etc/passwd file and expect the
users to still use their old passwords? This sort of thing.

You should be able to copy the file over, edit it and take out the system accounts, and then just append the rest to the passwd already in place. Just be sure that there's no user accounts on the sun that have conflicting UID's, and that the homedirs, shells, etc, are all the same. This is, of course, assuming you're not running enhanced security. -Jay Digital Unix Tech Support 237-7411 | |||||
