Okay. TIAS-ed, and it worked. Sorry for the bit o' noise. :-)

Hi Y'all,
As soon as parts come in, I'm going to be swapping out a server. I want the usernames/passwords to all be the same, so could I do something like copy /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow to the replacement and have things work? I want it to be as seamless as possible, so having username/uid pairs remain constant would be a big plus; that way I won't have to fool around with ownerships when I copy the user data over; just preserve it and it should be smooth. Right? ...
Thanks again for the sage advice!
