Hi I have a fileserver serving /home via nfs to around 200 users on 20 clients. This server also runs nis for user logins. Currently it runs 9.3. I have a new box I'd like to transfer /home to and have it up as simply as possible. Will the following work?
Install 10.2 on the new box. cp -a the contents of /home from the old box to it eg from a usb removable disk. Install nfs server using yast Install nis server using yast Copy /etc/passwd from the old box to the new box Copy /etc/group from the old box to the new box Unplug the the network cable on the old box. Plug in the cable to the new box. Assign the new box the same IP Runlevel 3 Surely it's can't be as simple as that. How far away from the real world am I?
