----- Original Message ----- From: Frank DeChellis Hi there,
I am new to the list but have been using Blue Onyx for close to a year. The person working with us has been using it for a number of years. I have a server running NetBSD with a few thousand email accounts. I want to migrate these users to a blue onyx box. Reading the CMU page I can't tell if it is for Blue Onyx to Blue Onyx migrations or if it's possible to read in the passwd file from a BSD server and create accounts in Blue Onyx. Before writing I tried to search out the question but I only found a few similar questions that generating no discussion. Any info that anybody may have is greatly appreciated. Frank Frank DeChellis President, Internet Access Worldwide Welland, Ontario, Canada www.iaw.com << Frank If the NetBSD uses shadow files, then you could write a script uses the shell tools to create the email accounts; then have it modify the shadow value to what was on the old server. Something like /usr/sbin/cadduser --name=$adminuser --password='$password' --fqdn=$hostname.$domainname --admin --adminPassword='$serveradminpassword' cat /etc/shadow | grep the-username #the-username:$1$uqRVSP68$wQpEZAOzusYGwi7rbxYyL0:15161:0:99999:7::: split it out paste in the value from the old server and save the file. You could test it manually, then create the perl script if that works. ---- Ken M Precision Web Hosting, Inc. http://www.precisionweb.net _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
