Is there a program to store account information so it can be preserved across a new install?
for the next time install /home in a different partition, upgrading will be easier :)

I've had a separate /u file system going back to SCO Xenix. I keep a tree in /u with copies of /etc/hosts at al. I also have an "upgrade check list" for things to do for upgrading *x releases -- double backups juat in case, and all that.
Which gets back to my original, unanswered question: is there a Linux counterpart to the SCO Unix programs that store and reinstall the users' ACCOUNT INFORMATION? Saving /etc/passwd doesn't quite cut it anymore.
