You probably want to duplicate /etc/shells as well (unless you never
experiment with new shells!)
It's responsible for such details as what shell you get if you ftp in.

Is it possible to copy the passwd, shadow and group files from one
system and have them work another?
I just tried it here and it worked fine but are there any
not-immediately-obvious problems with doing this?
