/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, perhaps?
/etc/ssh_config is a favorite as well.
Dumping these (from rh9) on top of what fc3 creates won't mess things up?
I would be immensely suprised if /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow changed
formats; they might have different UIDs, however, so you might want
to manually merge in changes.
I will probably just set up the users in the same sequence.
/etc/ssh_config is where the system keys reside -- copy over at least
those (otherwise all the clients that have logged in to this box before
will complain of a man-in-the-middle attack), and then walk through the
new configuration file making sure important defaults (e.g. "ForwardX11 yes")
are preserved.
Not having done anything with ssh (yet) there's probably nothing to
worry about there, in this case. Right?
Of course, if the ssh version hasn't changed, you ought to be able to
copy over the whole ssh_config directory.

How?
Check your package manager. I don't have an RH box nearby, but there
ought to be an rpm command that will dump the names of all the installed
packages.
-Stewart "pkginfo --list" Stremler
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# pkginfo --list
-bash: pkginfo: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#
And if rpm has a way to do it, I couldn't find it in "man rpm". But I
didn't really know what to search for. "rpm -a" gave nothing, as did
"rpm --list".
