Is it possible to copy the passwd, shadow and group files from one
system and have them work another?
I just tried it here and it worked fine but are there any
not-immediately-obvious problems with doing this? This system is
running as a backup for another server, and I can duplicate the contents
of the home directories without problems (I'll install rsync later
today, tar -> ftp -> untar is rather inefficient ) but I obviously need
to duplicate the user details as well.
