Copying User Accounts

I am setting up a new email server on Fedora Core 4. My existing server uses RedHat 9.

I want to move all my user accounts to the new Fedora box, since I obviously do not know the passwords of all the users. I know it entails more than copying over /etc/passwd.

Has someone done this and if so, what are the steps required to move that data?

Thanks in advance.
