Redhat 7.3 to Fedora Core 1 migration; canned scripts?

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I need to migrate a RH7.3 server to a seperate, new Fedora Core 1 
server. Firs tI thought that I would just copy 
/etc/[passwd|shadow|group|gshadow] but then it occured to me that some 
system accounts may well be different. So then I decided to write a 
small perl script that would read the old passwd file and create 
accounts for any user who's gid was 500 or higher up to 60000. Well, 
this worked but then I realised that I missed multiple group 
memberships... So (and so on and so forth).

   Does anyone know of a canned program or script(s) that would be able 
to look at an old rh7.3 box and migrate the user data (home dirs, mail, 
etc)? Am I really doomed to have this task as the first one I ever write 
a perl script for? ;)

   Thanks!

Madison
