Roland,

yeah I understand that.  But I am asking about how to make sure the UID 
and GID definitions are the same on each machine.  Is it as easy as 
copying over the /etc/group /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files 
from the old server to the new server?  If you dont know the answer 
please let somebody who does.

Cheers,

Noah
