Hello list

I have a system with around 50 user accounts on it. I'd like to avoid
having to reset passwords and recreate all accounts for the users. I am
backing up /home and /usr/local/www/. What I want to do is to blat the
old installation, install a basic 5.3 system, restore the dumps and make
a new passwd database from the old master.passwd. 

Is it possible to restore/merge master.passwd across the revision boundary?
Do I have to do the same with /etc/groups?

thanks
