| OK I will summarise:

Thanks.  It is useful to share hard-won knowledge.

| cp passwd OLD/
| cp group OLD/
| cp shadow OLD/
| cp gshadow OLD/
| 
| chmod 600 shadow gshadow

I would suggest:
	cp -p passwd group shadow gshadow OLD/
The -p preserves file attributes.  I use it on most cp commands I
issue.

I always regret the fact that I forget to copy my sshd host keys over.
But I always forget.
