    Thanks to help from this list I am proud to say that tonight I will be
    moving our mail server from Linux/Sendmail to FreeBSD/Postfix! The user
    passwd file has been converted and we are ready to rock, but I have a few
    questions before I begin tonight.

    I plan to copy the users home directories over, does anyone have a script
    that will go through the home directories and correctly set the ownership of
    the directories once they are copied over? Example, user Fred has a home
    dir on the old machine, I copy over the files to the BSD box, I need to
    chown -R fred:users to his home directory. I could do it by hand, but I am
    sure there has to be a script out there to do something similar?

    Second question, I want to make sure ALL files are copied over from the home
    directories and I think I have the syntax wrong to get the files, I want
    the .procmailrc files to transfer over.

    Thanks in advance!

    -Scott
