    A client of mine is running Plesk 1.13 (actually Slash, but it's the same
    thing) on TurboLinux (Linux version 2.2.14-3). I've set up a new server
    running FreeBSD and Plesk 6.
    I noticed that all the account information (including passwords) are in the
    DB of Plesk 1.13. I don't have to copy all the website content etc but just
    the accounts, passwords, domains etc.

    I was wondering about the best strategy. Uptil now I figured the best way was:
    - Install a temporary server with Linux
    - copy psa 1.13 and passwd/group files to it,
    - update to psa 5.0
    - update to psa 6
    - use the backup util and place the backup on the FreeBSD server

    The worst way of copying is filling in the new server by hand. I was
    wondering, if all the information I need is in the database. Isn't it
    possible to just place the db on the new server, and let PSA 5 update the
    database and create all the sysusers? I have already found MySQL commands
    in the etc dir of PSA 6, to update the 1.13 db to psa 2 -> 5 -> 6 which
    worked flawlessly. The problem however is that the sysusers won't be created.

    I'm not so into the way PSA handles the database info for creating system
    files. I already informed about the costs for SW-Soft of doing the
    transfer, but they couldn't tell how long it would take and thus how much
    it would cost, so that's not an option.
