Miograting from a Fedora Core Linux server to Plesk

[ajeffcoat]

Hello,

I have a Fedora Core server running that I setup myself. I'm now renting a Dedicated server running Fedora Core 6 with Plesk. How can I migrate my system accounts (/etc/passwd)to the new server?

Sincerely,

Abel Jeffcoat

but i'm afraid if you have just account on server, you will have to migrate them manually

The source server currently has no control panel, that is the issue. Any suggestions how I can migrate the /etc/passwd /etc/shadow files to my new dedicated server and migrate then to the poppassword files as well for the mail boxes? Basically I don't want my current clienys to have to provide me a new password. I want to migrate services to the new server without any actions needed by my clients. Any thoughts?

Hello,

Probably the chrooted migration is the way to solve the issue:
