Hello Tru Gurus!,
        I have a system running 4.0f with C2 Security enabled (No NIS) and I
want to migrate all of the users to a new server that is running 5.1 with C2
Security enabled (No NIS). I found this message in the archives but it
doesn't quite fit:

<http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1999/08/
msg00130.html>

        When I followed the instructions ( copy /etc/passwd, /etc/groups,
/var/tcb/files/auth.db, and /tcb/files/auth tree, run mkpasswd and authck -a
) and tried to log in as myself, I get the following error message:

Last login: Wed Oct 24 14:04:14 EDT 2001 from hostname.domainname
No directory!

[hostname:23: remote disconnect]

        I have verified that the user home directories exist. Is the
problem caused by going from a 4.0f server to a 5.1 server? Thanks in
advance!
