Dear HP sys admins,
Thank you for so many responses for my questions. Here is the answer:
1. Since we are not a trusted system, we can just transfer /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /home/<users> to the new server
2. Either modify /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and also in /etc/hosts, then reboot the machine, or use set_parms hostname to change the host name of the machine.
Once again, thank you all so much. You certainly make my life easier!
Sincerely,
William Kung

Dear HP sys admins,
We have recently acquire a new HP9000 rp5470 running hpux 11i. I have 2 questions:
1. Our current HP9000 D370 is running HPUX 11 and I wanted to just transfer the users to the new machine. If I am not mistaken, I read a while back that I can just transfer the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /home/<users>. Did I miss anything?
2. In the near future, we wanted to make the new server host name the same as the current host name (for an application license issus), is there a way other than re-installing the operating system?
Thank you in advance for any help. I really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
William Kung
