Password copy for all the /home users

[Vishal Agarwal]

Hi,

I am installing my Ubuntu server. I can do all other configuration successfully; the only thing I want to restore all the passwords for all the users as it is. I was advised to copy passwd,shadow, group files from the previous installation but it did not worked for me.
