correct way to move users?

[brad davison]

After my debacle with the PAE kernel, I am building the mail server anew.  I had used webmin's user batch file thing to generate the users on the temporary system, but there were some issues with that.
 
If I have a good copy of /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd, is there a better way to move the users?
 
I saw a very breif website that said to use this method:
 
"
Move user entries from the following old files: 
/etc/passwd/etc/group/etc/master.passwd 
Then run the following command to rebuild the password database: 
pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd  
"
 
Is this the proper way?  If not, what is the correct way to do this with Freebsd (7.0)?
 
Thank you,
Brad
