Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Solaris 11 migration user account enquiry

Jan 9, 2019 5:41AM edited Jan 27, 2019 10:06PM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

Hi,

If I would migration user account's from one system (e.g. Solaris 11) to another system (e.g. Solaris 11).

Is it only copy the files ie. /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and re-create user's directories.

Should I still need useradd again? or is it has another methods?

Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
