well duh.. ofcourse password files and home directories are the key!

as it was mention earlier we only was talking about /etc/master.passwd

and i said this one file is not enough

maybe you've done it on linux... but in bsd you need to save/copy:
home directory(s)
/etc/passwd
/etc/master.passwd
/etc/pwd.db
/etc/spwd.db

enjoy it..
