You may copy the whole file or only parts[1] of it to your new account. But you also need to migrate the directories ~/News/ and ~/Mail (or at least parts of them). Bye, Reiner.

But this is useless, if you don't have the groups (and servers) listed in this variable. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- PGP key available via WWW http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
