I want to get FC3 running and configured well on a new machine before replacing my current FC2 system. How do I move the users/passwords/home to the new box?

Thanks in advance

I think if you upgrade your existing FC2 to FC3, instead of fresh installing FC3 you won't have to worry about that.

Thanks for your reply. After upgrading from RH9 to FC2 and dealing with all the stuff that got broken in the process, honestly, I'm a little gun shy of upgrading from FC2 -> FC3. I have lots of mail users that I don't want to disrupt. Besides, I need better hardware to support the services that are required in that environment so the bottom line is I need to move all the users to a new box. I've just never done that before. Moving the users is not the problem, I could do that one at a time, it is moving the passwords that I don't know how to do.

Well, i don't know if there is an automated procedure to do that.
You probably already know that: users/passwords are stored in /etc/passwd , /etc/shadow and /etc/group.
I haven't upgrated my FC2 to FC3, but as far as I know it's easy (much easier that upgrating RH9 to FC2) since FC3 is the successor of FC2.
