Are there any scripts out there that'll move every thing off a cobalt server onto a redhat server?
assuming the redhat server has apache installed, configured, with most modules ?

basically I need to transfer a bunch of cobalt accounts and set them up on a redhat server. Now i'm sure alot of you know that cobalt works a bit differently, with it's /home/sites, the symlinking, and the dirs inside of each site etc.

so i was wondering if there were any scripts that were able to convert or anything like that. Otherwise I guess id have to do this all by hand.

any help is appreciated.

Are you using any specific control panel on the RedHat server? If not, I would just copy the entire users directory structure and then just recreate the httpd.conf based on the httpd.conf on the Cobalt server. Also, the Cobalt OS is basically just a hacked up Redhat, so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues.

when i type cat /etc/shadow on the cobalt box
the last line is a shadow entry for a username, the last user added to the box. ok great
when i run cat /etc/passwd
same user, entry in passwd

ok
Is it possible for me to copy and paste the shadow entry and put it on the redhat box's /etc/shadow?
and copy and paste the passwd entry into the /etc/paswd on the redhat box? would it work?

That would probably work. It wouldn't take you very long to find out.
