Is there a way to move user accounts to a new server?

[madhermit]

The current server is a D350 class with HP-UX v10.x. The new server is an HP r3410 with HP-UX v11i. I need to move the user accounts from the current server to the new server.

Thanks in advance.

You can test this.... When I moved from box a to box b, we would copy over the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.

of course, first copy the original as a backup:
cp -p passwd passwd.org
cp -p group group.org

rcp -p A:/etc/passwd /etc/passwd.new
rcp -p A:/etc/group /etc/group.new

cp -p passwd.new passwd
cp -p group.new group

you should replicate the "/home" folders too (or the home directoies, whenever they are)...

Cheers.
