Hi,
I want to move all of the mailboxes (all of /var/mail/*) on one
machine to another one across a network. I need to preserve
permissions, uid's and gud's. (It would probably be good to
preserve modification times as well). I can move a file using scp,
but it doesn't preserve uid/gid
Can't you just do
cd /var/mail
tar cpf /tmp/var_mail.tar *
scp /tmp/var_mail.tar [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
ssh to the new host
cd /var/mail
rm -rf * # if you want to clean out the existing /var/mail on the
new machine
tar xpf ~user:var_mail.tar
????
