Hi,
1) copy your shadow, passwd, group file to the new machine.
2) nfs mount your old redhat's home dir to the new machine.
3) to move everything from one place to another place, use
cd fromdir; tar cf - . | (cd todir; tar xpf -)
(this works great for me whenever I need to move data around)
4) repeat step 2 and 3 for your mail dir.
Maybe someone knows better.
