dump | restore should move all the files that you need, provided
there weren't symbolic links already on that partition before you
do the restore. (in other words restore would overwrite an existing
symbolic link).

but to be safe, check which crypt library you are using:

	ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt.so

it should say either:

	lrwxrwxrwx  [deletes]  /usr/lib/libcrypt.so@ -> libdescrypt.so

or

	lrwxrwxrwx  [deletes]  /usr/lib/libcrypt.so@ -> libscrypt.so

the DES library will properly cyrpts/decyrpt DES and MD5 encrypted passwords,
and the S library crypts/decyrpts only the MD5 passwords. Check your password
file, /etc/master.passwd, if all the passwords start with "$1", then you use
MD5 ecryption.


Second possiblity is that for some reason the master passwrd database,
in /etc/spwd.db was not correctly created. As root, execute:

	# pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
