Hi,
Be aware that if you are doing this between different releases 4.x to 5.x for instance you stand a good chance of breaking your system as the systems account set up by the installer may well differ between the two releases. It is safer to extract the users that you have added to the system from the password and shadow files and to append the resulting files to the new system's password and shadow files.
