Troubleshooting authentication issues
I have a CentOS 5.6 server whose users I need to migrate over to a newly setup server running CentOS 6.2. I followed the instructions outlined here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2010/02/10/mig...ne-to-another/ But I am unable to login with users I copied over, I get an Authentication failure error. Any idea's why that would be or what I can do to troubleshoot it? Thanks |

- don't explain UGIDLIMIT (see UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs), - the tar command doesn't take into account SELinux contexts (tar: "--selinux"), extended attributes (tar: "--xattrs"), ACLs (tar: "--acls") and sparse files and - copies /home contents indiscriminately (some daemons run as unprivileged user and you might not want to copy that), - it copies the complete mail spool (including root and any system user spools: could have used "--exclude" or "--exclude-from") - it doesn't copy the at and cron spool nor any local settings in /etc like /etc/security or /etc/{at,cron}.{allow,deny} settings, and - it doesn't tell you about and doesn't check for check UID and GID duplication. *** More importantly it doesn't tell you to back up files on your target server first.
