because I am not above asking...

[Craig White]

I would love to know how to take a user list from one computer and move it
to another or more specifically, save the passwd file (obviously, the
passwords themselves would not go with) like it were smb.conf or firewall
scripts so I can reformat a hard drive and start over without recreating all
the users etc.

can I join the users/groups starting with 500 from an 'old' passwd file to a
newly created one?
