user migration

Dear Experts and FreeBSD lovers,

I have a very old FreeBSD system with more than 2000 users. Now I want all them to migrate to new linux system centOS for easy tasking and working. How can I perform such task. My FreeBSD release is FreeBSD 6.0.

Any quick helps will be appreciated.

Regards,
Franklin
 
Dear Fonz,

Thanks for your quick acknowledgement. I long to help you with the essentials about my system. In addition, my system is using qmail.

Thanks,
Franklin
 
That's still not very descriptive. Are you trying to migrate a mailserver or can users actually log in (which means they may have stuff in their home directories and/or /tmp)?

Yes, exactly trying to migrate a mail server. And my prime concern is without harming their home directories, i am trying to migrate the server. Can it be possible?

Slightly off topic perhaps but the "new linux system centOS for easy tasking and working" doesn't have a community? A mailing list, a forum, whatever?
 
You can pull the home directories in like this:
# ssh [email]admin@my.old.box[/email] tar -C /usr -cf - home | tar -C / -xvf -
