Let me add to what others have already said. Typically, products create userids with a uid <500. Some packages may have added users in your new system that weren't there before. What we typically do is copy only the uids >500 and not touch the earlier ones. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
