| I have a new server ( host A ) and a existing server ( host B ) , I
will move all data from host A to host B , could suggest what is the
best method to move all the user data including /etc/passwd .
/etc/shadow , /etc/group , ~userid/.bash_profile , /home , how to make
the user can use the same password after move the server ? thx
I remember that linux has a command can "save" the setting in
/etc/passwd , /etc/grooup & /etc/shadow , but not sure what is the
command , could someone can advise ? thx

mkdir /tmp/migrate
cd /tmp/migrate
mkdir etc
cp /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow ./etc/
tar cjvvf /home homefs.tar.bz2
tar cvvf migration.tar *
Burn this to a CD (if larger then a CD then split the migration tarball
up so that it will, or transfer it over the network. Then, on the new
machine:
mkdir /tmp/migrate
cd /tmp/migrate
tar xvvf /path/to/migration.tar
cp etc/* /etc
tar xjvvf honefs.tar.bz2 /home
And you've migrated all of your users as well as their data.

Look into dump/restore, or tar (with preserve), or rsync, for 3
workable and frequently used methods.

That question is too vague to be able to answer.
