importing passwords from old system



Is it possible to import the passwords from an old system? I upgraded
my computer (clean install from redhat 6.2) and kept the etc directory,
but since the passwords are encrypted (shadow passwords) I am guessing
I can't just drop in the old password/group/shadow files.

Is it even possible to do this (its actually more important for another
machine which I want to push for an upgrade and it has quite a few
users, so ...)
