then run a script to recreate the home directories like the one below:
for i in $(awk -F: '{print $6}' /etc/passwd | grep home); do
echo $i ; sleep 1 ; cd /etc/skel ; ls -al ;
for n in $(ls -al); do
echo "$n"
mkdir -p .$i
cp -rR $n .$i;
done
done

I recently installed RedHat 9.0 (Publishers' edition). I would like to import user account information from a backup of /etc/* from my previous installation (redhat 7.2). I tried using kdiff3 (similar to sdiff) to merge the two files but there are several conflicting (mainly system) accounts. I don't want to wreck the fresh install! I didn't use the upgrade option because the publishers' edition doesn't provide one Does anyone know of a method (or tool) that can acomplish this?
