Upgrading RH8 to RH9 - accounts?

I have a server box that I want to upgrade to RH9 while doing a major 
disk upgrade. (RH8 just has some instabilities I can't tolerate.)

This box has quite a few accounts defined on it. Is there any way to 
"cheat" and just copy over /etc/passwd to make the accounts magically 
re-appear? Is there anything else besides /etc/shadow that I'd need?

Thanks,
Michael
