Ubuntu Servers :: Easiest Way To Move 200 Accounts To New Server?
Feb 9, 2010I'm in the middle of moving my lab to a new server in the middle of the school year.. and need to copy all the user accounts to the new box, hopefully with all the student's passwords and contents of their folders intact.And since we are using the system daily, I need to do it all in an hour or 2.I'm thinking I can just
1. diff /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from the old the new
2. copy all the student folders to new /home
3. write a script to set the permissions on all the new /home folders to match the user names.
It seems easy and safe so long as I back up the 2 existing files..Any reason not to try? Or is there an easier way?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Easiest Way To Find Files In Folder / Directory?
Oct 10, 2010With Windows XP, I just right clicked a folder/directory and pressed FIND then I could search for whatever file/folder name i wanted to. I could even do custom searches based on the size, modification date etc.How do you do this on Ubuntu? There doesnt seem to be a way to easily do it like this. So far i found PLACES -> SEARCH FOR FILES but that means I have to go into the directory i want. Where as I would much rather be browsing through directories and THEN want to quickly search in a particular folder. The SEARCH FOR FILES method in PLACES just wastes more time.

Jun 26, 2010Is this the best & easiest way to create a bootable usb drive?Live USB stick - openSUSE.I should follow the Linux instructions and then a create a partition with remaining space on the usb drive.I'm looking to do this when 11.3 comes out. My main focus is to create bootable usb drives to stop wasting cd/dvd's that lay around and pile up; right now we have no recycling center for old cd/dvds without shipping them out by the cost of the consumer. Learning to create a bootable usb opensuse will reduce my waste of old distributions. I ran the Ubuntu usb installer, which graphically does the work for you, so the opensuse looks a little more like work, but manageable for the simple user?

Jan 16, 2011This is my first post and I figured why not start it off with a question!
First off, thanks for this site, I have a LOT of reading to do!
Secondly, my question is, what is the easiest way to upgrade my live server from Fedora core 4 to Fedora core 14 (latest stable version).
I have a box that is live with a couple of small active forums on it where the upgrade would take place.
I want to upgrade my box to stay up to date with the latest release of Fedora linux to take advantage of any enhancements or security fixes that has been implemented since version 4.
My box is colocated at a data center. Would it be best to upgrade from a CD or remotely? I have read there is quite a risk upgrading the OS remotely and some issues like broken files or dependencies could occur.

Mar 17, 2010I have somewhere between 8 and 12 servers, spread amongst different webhosts, all running CentOS 5.3. Everything on the servers has been compiled from source:

I compile from source because I usually run ./configure to modify the source before installing. What would be the easiest way to keep the server software updated? I am considering creating custom packages from a server which I would keep up to date manually. Then use Capistrano or Puppet to install those packages on all of my servers.

Feb 25, 2010I need to setup a mail server, purely for relaying mail to a MS exchange server. A previous employee used Postfix on CentOS. I have limited Linux knowledge and no experience with any mail server software other than MS Exchange, so we cannot continue with this solution (unless I can find a way of managing it all from a gui). Does anyone know of an MTA that can be configured completely by GUI? Everyone says sendmail has millions of features and loads of documentation, but I simply do not have the time to learn it. I need something that can be configured with minimal knowledge and via GUI, not command line. The only reason I'm not using Exchange is to try to save money, and hopefully it will be more secure.
