hello!

i hope this isn't too obvious a question, but i've been having some
trouble with this, so i'm hoping some people might have some insight
into the matter.

i've got a server that serves both DNS and mail for my domains.  i want
to replace this with a new server in a new facility.    it's easy to set
up the new server with named and all that for the new IP address(es),
but i am not sure how to migrate:

a. user accounts and passwords
b. sendmail configuration (old server is freebsd 3.4, new is 4.3)
c. i don't know to test this stuff out, because the new server is set up
to be the DNS for itself, but won't a lot of programs get confused about
reverse DNS mappings, etc ... ?


any suggestions on a good way to do this?  really DNS, user accounts
with password, and, of course, mail, are all that i want to move over.

any pointers would be appreciated.

thanks,
marc.
