hello noah,tar always keeps uids/gids intact on tar/untar - so does rsync if you use "--numeric-ids" when transferring files.
Roland,yeah I understand that. But I am asking about how to make sure the UID and GID definitions are the same on each machine. Is it as easy as copying over the /etc/group /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files from the old server to the new server? If you dont know the answer please let somebody who does.
Cheers, Noah
