The logins are in the master DB and the DTS packages are in msdb. If your
intent is to move everything, see my comments in my follow-up note.

Tom,
  Thanks for your answer.  But I could be wrong that when I move the
database between server including all Systems Databases, all Logins and DTS
Packages will be moved automatically... or I need to manually transfer all
Logins and DTS Packages?
Thanks
Ed
