Migrating Control from an old server

This is a rough guide on installing control on a brand new system and migrating data over from an existing server.

First install Fedora core based on this guide Installing_Fedora5

Then install control on it based on this guide Installing Control

Copy over (using rsync or whatever method is handy) /u from old server to new one. We want to change as little in control as possible so this includes all the old programs.

copy over users in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (take care not to mess with the already existing system users)

copy over contents of /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/* and /etc/openvpn/*

copy over contents of /etc/ssh/* (to migrate over ssh keys)

copy over cron entries for ccc and root copy over entries from /etc/inittab, again take care not to mess with the existing entries.

copy over /etc/nxserver/* (for systems that still use freenx)

Transfer or install new tape drive and test to make sure they still work.
