Thanks for the all the responses.

Basically, all I have to do is copy over the:
        /etc/group
        /etc/passwd
        /etc/shadow

files. However, in my case, I don't need to recopy over the root/admin etc
ids. Ill just copy over the id's and groups that I need. Also making sure
that there are no dupes.

Thanks!
