<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Recently installed Debian 4 on my other Sun Ultra 5 and
would like to replicate my /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files on that machine
from my Debian 3.1 machine along with all the /home directories as well so
users can use both the 3.1 and 4.0 boxes and still have the same files in their
home directories on both machines. However, I am having a heck of a time
trying to figure this out and how to get it into a cron job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any pointers to information on an easy way to do this would
be very much greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
