Thanks to Ann Majeske. Her suggestion below worked like a charm
In addition to doing all of the things you'd normally do
to move users from one system to another (moving/copying
home directories, copying entries from /etc/passwd and
/etc/group, etc.) you can do the following to copy the
user entries from the auth.db on one system to another:
on first system: #/usr/tcb/bin/edauth -g > auth.out
copy auth.out to new system and edit it to remove any
system accounts that you don't want/need copied from
the first system.
on second system: #edauth -s < auth.out
This is not an "officially supported" solution, but it
should work. Note that you have to do this AFTER setting
up the accounts in the /etc/passwd file, or it won't work.
