In addition to those, I'd want to hold on to /etc/printcap, 
/etc/ntp.conf and /var/mail. /etc/hosts too, if you're using it. 
Basically anything from /etc that you've customized that isn't 
machine-specific. Possibly some things from /usr/local/etc as well,
depending on your application.

moving users to new puter

Hello!

I'm moving all lusers from old server to new. What files and
directories I need to copy? /usr/home of course and /etc/passwd and
/etc/group. But where are actually passwords stored? group and passwd
only show * in password space. And is there something else to
remember?
