More on the backup server password stuff.

Okay, I copied:

/etc/
	master.psswd
	passwd
	pwd.db
	spwd.db
and for good measure:
	group

from main server to backup server.

But no one can log on.
-so I do a vipw - nothing.
-pwd_mkdb -p master.passwd - nothing  
-However, if I do a "passwd user", then that user can log on.

I don't get it.  Is there another file I'm missing?  
Why does the "passwd" command fix that user that copying the files
didn't do.

Thanks again.

Chris
