Copy passwords to another server

[DonDavisFCB]

I have recently Installed AIV v5 on a machine that was a redundant server por a production server. The logins and passwords wer the same on both boxes. Is there a way to copy the passwords from one machine to the other without having to reset all of the users?

I have manually added each user with mkuser. Then I copied /etc/security/passwd from the production server to my pristine v5 box. This did not work.

Is this possible?
Thanks,
Don

This worked for us:

if /usr/bin/rcp -p /etc/passwd hostname:/etc/passwd.new ; then
if /usr/bin/rcp -p /etc/security/passwd hostname:/etc/security/passwd.new ; then
if /usr/bin/rcp -p /etc/group hostname:/etc/group.new ; then
if /usr/bin/rcp -p /etc/security/group hostname:/etc/security/group.new ; then
if /usr/bin/rcp -p /etc/security/limits hostname:/etc/security/limits.new ; then
if /usr/bin/rcp -p /etc/security/user hostname:/etc/security/user.new ; then
rsh hostname 'cp -p /etc/passwd.new /etc/passwd ; cp -p /etc/security/passwd.new /etc/security/passwd ; cp -p /etc/group.new /etc/group ; cp -p /etc/security/group.new /etc/security/group ; cp -p /etc/security/limits.new /etc/security/limits ; cp -p /etc/security/user.new /etc/security/user'

echo "/etc/security/user" | mail -s ...

echo "/etc/security/limits" | mail -s ...
