I have an FC4 server that I'd like to convert over to CentOS 5. It's the
one machine that I have that has a lot of user accounts so I want
transfer the required /etc files rather than having to recreate the
accounts. Which files do I need besides /etc/passwd and /etc/group?

All their stuff in /home, /var/at, /var/cron, and anywhere else they may
have stored stuff.
/etc/shadow
