[cobalt-developers] User migration to Debian?

["Ian McCall" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I'm soon to be moving a Raq4 over to Debian. Fresh install on a fresh disk,
then copy over the site and email data.

I can see a few potential hassles, but by far the largest of them is the
migration of usernames and passwords. Ideally, I would like to preserve all
usernames and passwords - group ids don't matter too much, as they can be
reassigned without causing hassle to the users. However, I really don't
fancy ringing each any every one of the customers to hand out a new username
and password.

Has anyone done this before? Are there any tools around that might prove
useful, or methodologies I should use?


Thanks in advance for any information.


Cheers,
Ian
