Hi, I am going to do a fresh install of RH. 7.3 on one of our machine here, that has RH 5.1. However, there are many users in that machine, and I don't want to have to re-create every users, plus I am not the original admin of the machine, so I don't know every users there.
So my question is, is there anyway I can keep all the users and passwd so that after the upgrade, the users can still be there? The only think came to my mind is to backup /etc/passwd. Will that work? or am I missing something? Another think is, since the /home directory is in the root partition, I have to basically destroy it during the upgrade. So I scp-ed the /home directory to another machine that has 7.1. I notice that it says something about "executing scp1 compatibility". The copied files are then slightly larger than the original. I am not sure if this will cause any problem or corrup something. So, any advice in those matters would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. Reuben D.
