Title: Migrate users and home dirs to version 5
Post by: David Trask on April 29, 2002, 06:37:16 AM

Hi all,

I have been ahppily running version 4.12 of E-Smith here at our school since August, however, summer is coming and I would like to upgrade that server to SME v5.xx.  Is it possible to migrate my users, passwords, groups, and home dirs to the new server to avoid having to redo all of that stuff and to protect the users data?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

David

If you take a backup and then select the upgrade option during the 5.1.2 install process, you should be fine.
