[gentoo-server] Can I move /etc/passwd to new server?

[Karl Zander]

 
I have to move my SAMBA PDC to new hardware.  SAMBA uses 
/etc/passwd along with its own user database.

Can I copy /etc/passwd from the old server to the new or 
do I have to create a new /etc/passwd matching the user 
info?  I believe I need to move /etc/group and /etc/shadow 
too.  Is there such a thing and a shadow group?

What about root on the new server?  Will it have problems 
if a new /etc/passwd is dropped in on it?
