Atually, after a long wait..... this was how I did it.

I copied the 3 servers into another computer,
in dir1, dir2, dir3, then upgraded them 1 by 1 to 6.0.0.1
before shutting them all down.

Then fresh installed v6 in default folder, and made 3 domains, using the 3 different ports we used to run.
Added a dummy user in each of them, User1, User2, User3.
All of this with the userbases in the normal .INI file.

Then I shut it down, now the "fun" began.....

By using the newly made .INI file as a template, I edited the 3 updated .INI files,
then some copy&paste turned the fresh .INI file into a rather complex one

After I restarted the freshly installed server, with the edited .INI file, it all loked well,
and we did some tests to make sure the users where able to log in as before.

Now for the real test ....

The running servers on the original computer was shut down,
ServU 6.0.0.1 was installed using default folders,
the "hacked" .INI file was beeing copied into that folder, and
the server was started, serving all users and domains

Some small differences has been found, that I don't really like,
especially with the "Group" seetings beeing somewhat limited
compared to the good old 2.5 version.
So stay tuned for a new update in a year or so as I might want to change
to something "better"....
