I dimly remember, but may be wrong, that many files in /etc are archived somewhere else by the install and you are supposed to copy back the ones you need. Can anyone confirm or correct that? If so, that would be the source of at least some of your problems. You will need to copy back your old passwd and group files, possibly mergin in any new groups or users that were added by the install (possibilities include sshd, smmsp etc). Use diff on the archived and new versions to check for additions / deletions.
