There are two ways of doing it.
1. If you copy /tcb/files/auth.db, you will get all users
(includingroot...)
2. If you have a list of the users you will migrate, you can do an
"edauth
-g" for each user to a file (for each user). Move these files over to the
new system with the appropriate lines from /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
Afteryou have added these to the /etc/passwd file on the new system,
run a "catfile | edauth -s" for each user.
The joy of the second method is that you can do single users without
screwing up the existing users (for example root).
Thanks to Michael Bradford for this one. Option 2 is exactly what I
need. I can now just migrate the users that I need across to the new
server. I also found a useful command edauth -g <username> | grep -c
":lock@:" which will return 1 if NOT locked and 0 if locked. This will
allow me to determine which accounts have timed out and locked, and will
not need migrating.

Original Post
I'm trying to migrate all users from one C2 enabled system (4.0F) to a
new 5.1A system. Obviously I need to move /etc/passwd, /etc/group and
the home directories, but I can't find a definitive list of the edauth
database files and such. I know I've seen this topic before, and I know
I've seen an answer! - Can't find it on tru64.org.
Thanks,
Bryan Mills.
