AIX to LINUX migration

[Aaron1940]

I have a huge task ahead of me, and I was just wondering if anyone can help with any leads.

Here goes... We have a Risc/6000 server with AIX 4.3.3 which we will be migrating over to our new RedHat Linux Servers.

One of my tasks is to take all the user names and move them to the new server but at the same time check what accounts have never logged in or have not logged in for over a month. Those accounts will not be transffered. As well as recreating the usernames to match our "windows network account usernames". i.e. windows nt account is jsmith and unixid is johns - I need it to all be like the NT accounts.

If possible I would like them to some how be linked with the NT servers Active directory. I'm not sure if there is an easy way of making this happen.

Right now I am forced to make something happen so I am manually comparing unix id's to network ids, etc.

Please help
Thank you

I'm not sure about the active directory bit but...

If you run

perl -e 'my $onemonth = time() - ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 30); print $onemonth, "\n";'

You'll get the time in seconds one month ago
If you run

for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f1)
do
  lsuser -a time_last_login $i
done

You'll get a list of last login times. So if you use

export OMA=$(perl -e 'my $onemonth = time() - ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 30); print $onemonth;')
for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | cut -d : -f1)
do
  LLT=$(lsuser -a time_last_login $i | awk -F = '{print $2}')
  if [ "" != "$LLT" ]
  then
    [[ $LLT -lt $OMA ]] && echo $i
  fi
done

You'll get a list of everyone who hasnt logged in for a month.

FWIW - we had a client recently faced with the same problem. THey had about 50-75 users on WinXP Desktops. We recommended they install Novell eDirectory on their Linux server and they were then able to use the Linux box to autenticate ALL their users, including all the Windows people.

If you're interested take a look at

Good luck.
