migrate from RH 7.3 to Mandrake 9.2

Comment:

I want to migrate from Red Hat 7.3 to Mandrake 9.2, but I want to keep user accounts, is it sufficient to copy /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files or I have to do something more than this? Thanks Spiros.

You may also want to backup /home/* and if using samba /etc/samba too.
