Guest: how can I migrate old email users from unix machine to the new ehcp
me: what is format of your old email users ?

do you have a list of those users, with passwords ?
Guest: yes, linux sytem users
I don't have the list

get a list using /etc/passwd
then, you may add them, using some sql, to ehcp,
with default pass of 123456
for ex
does this enaugh for you ?
i will show you the sql.
in ehcp gui, bulk email add does not exist, but you can add using phpmyadmin.
Guest: how am I gonna read the passwd file
me: on linux console,
cat /etc/passwd
Guest: then, should I copy and paste somewhere else?
me: get that list, then, i will show you the way.
Guest: ok
me: extract only usrenames from that list.

Guest: am not good at linux but how does people migrate from linux mail servers to exchange or other mail servers
me: if passwords exist, in plain text format, they can be re-built.
if no passwords, then, all passes has to be reset.
in all systems.
Guest: I thinks mine is plain text format
me: passwords also plain text ?
sure ?

Guest: how can I find out if it is plain text

Sent at 1:56 PM on Thursday
me: in any system, passwords are not plaintext
if you dont know, we can say they are not plaintext.
so, we have to reset all passwords.
is this okey for you ?
if yes, i will continue your process.
