I have purchased and installed a new box with all the applications we use on our normal FBSD box. Now I want to switch out the old box in favor of the new one, however I have one slight problem. How would I go about moving all the useraccounts (including passwords, which I do not know myself) over to the new system - so I don't have to give all the people new passwords. Is it just a matter of moving the /etc/password file over in singleuser mode or? Any help/instructions/hints would be much appriciated.
