Re: transfer to new server

[David B Swann <swann nosc mil>]

I just did an upgrade from an OLD version of RH Linux to a newer one.  I
simply loaded the latest RH Linux on the new box, copied over the passwd
and shadow file.  I then backed up the user's home directories and
restored it on the NEW system and I was done.
