I suppose you could try copying your /etc/passwd file but you can always reset your users' passwords via the server manager and get them to set new ones themselves.

Hi again MSmith

I'll try copying the password file. But is that really the only place they are stored?

How can I get a user to create a new password? Where should an ordinary user login to set a new password? There must be something (more) here I don't know.

Passwords are actually in /etc/shadow, and possibly in other places like /etc/smbpasswd.
