Greetings again. I'm kinda surprised that this isn't an FAQ, but... How do I move users and passwords from a current system to a new one? Is it sufficient to move /etc/master.passwd and /etc/passwd, or are there other things? I'm moving from an oldish 4.8 system to a brand new 4.9 system, and want to have all the users set up on the new machine before I start rsyncing everything over so that the users and groups come out right. --Paul Hoffman
