not sure why you need a script... The exact details depends on what is different between the systems currently and desired to be different ultimately. Start with the old /etc/master.passwd file, fix things that are missing, remove things you don't want, copy it over and and run pwd_mkdb. If the starting and ending machines are supposed to be "identical", no fixing should be needed. Nick.
