Moving users from Debian-based distro to CentOS

[Dotan Cohen <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Debian machine with four users that I plan on migrating to
CentOS. As per Debian habits the UIDs start with 1000.

Is it enough to reuse the Debian /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files
over? Or will I need to configure some other things? I had considered
just creating four new users starting from UID 500 then chown -R -ing
the user's home directories, but I find that invasive and possibly
error prone (maybe there are files that are not owned by them).

All advice appreciated. Thanks.
