[CLUE-Talk] user accounts

[Jeremiah Stanley]

What is the best way to move user accounts (email/shell) to another
machine? I am assuming that I can tar up their directories but how do I
preserve their permissions, is that a switch in the tar command?

My other question is one pertaining to backups. Does anybody know of a way
to do remote backups using the /dev/rmt device and ssh? If so, then where
can I find a tutorial on using the remote tape device?
