how to retrieve users from other AIX system
permalink
hi, for some reason I need to migrate some application from server A to B, while A is AIX 5.2 and B is AIX 5.3, and there are lots of users on A who use the application, so I have to set up these users on B exactly the same like those on A, but I don't know how for 100 percent sure, so anyone would please help me to figure out? thanks!

Right now I just know there are three critical files that related to user setting:

* /etc/passwd
* /etc/group
* /etc/security/

So I am wondering if just by copying these three files and the /home directory from A to B could done this job, but somebody told me it would be problematic, any suggestions?

I would think that you would have to copy their $HOME directories also. When we migrated from Tru64 to AIX 5.3 we copied the $HOME directories and didn't have any problems.

Perhaps you can use this (It's to verify) :
lsuser -f ALL > /tmp/users
mkuser < /tmp/users

You can modifiy the file '/tmp/users' before do the mkuser
