RE: [PLUG] Linux server migration headache

You are using shadow files and md5 passwords for both? The only things your
really need to worry about is uid/gid continuity and passwords.

I created scripts that essentially push passwd, shadow, group, and
gshadow files to other systems. I designed them not to copy accounts
below UID 500. Really, it's better to do it manually.
Do the home directories exist with the proper ownership and permissions?
