Is there a way to migrate the users from a 3.6 box to a 3.8 box i.e.
passwd
files user directories and such.
1. Use tar to copy /home
2. grab /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd
3. use pwd_mkdb on the target machine with the master.passwd file you
brought with you.
And what does this do to the new system users added between 3.6 and 3.8?

Correct, I just did a migration myself. I neglected to mentioned step
4 as follows written like US government documentation:
4. before doing step 3, be sure to merge new accounts and groups
into their respective files.
/me smacks myself
Or grab the tail of master.passwd with the "user" users and append it to
the fresh one...
