Thread: how to migrate users to new installation?
how migrate user list new server installation? thought copying /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow enough.
tried upgrading lightweight bazaar server 11.04, , upgrade crashed. had perform new installation of ubuntu recover operation of system. installed on different hard drive. had dozen other people user logins, can or modify bazaar repositories.
new installation running, , can read of files on old system's / drive. tried copying /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow files onto new /etc -- did not seem work. (when looked using system->administration->users-and-groups gui tool, there no users visible, restored old files.)
intended clone /etc , /home trees on new system. missing?
