Managing users and passwords

[Todd Cary <todd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I plan to make my current Centos 4 HD a slave and install Centos 
5.5 on a new HD (master).  Then comes the challenge of of moving 
all of my /home/"user" data to the new master.  I have some 
preliminary questions:

Is this a good strategy for installing Centos 5.5: keep the 
Centos 4 on a slave disk?

Will the Centos 5.5 detect the slave disk (Centos 4)?

Is there a way to move the users, groups and passwords from one 
disk to the new Centos 5.5?

IT departments must have servers go down or want to install a new 
version of Linux and have the same challenges.
