    Hello,

    We are planning on migrating a few machines from RedHat to Debian and were
    wondering whether there exists some way of reusing the red hat configuration
    files for the Debian configuration. In other words, can a new Debian install
    take over the information in config files for samba, nfs, /etc/passwd, etc., in
    order to avoid having to reconfigure everything manually ?

    Any pointers to relevant info or programmes are more than welcome.

    Thanks,

    Moritz
