I've used the ERD (well the /repair directory info) to move all of the users and the group for mail on IMS servers. I ran rdisk on the source machine, then took that data to the destination machine and booted it into 'repair' mode and then restored the security info. I think it is the last one in the list once you get to the restore screen, but I'm not sure.
