I've just re-installed OS X on my powerbook and have a few select users that I'd like to copy back to my new system from a system backup I did prior to formatting the drive.
Copying the users' home directories is easy enough, but how do I get the user, group and password information back for those users without having to manually recreate the user?
OS X doesn't use the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files unless it's in single user mode so it's not as simple as it would be on a regular unix machine, but I don't know where to start to look for a way to do this without having to recreate the users manually, which would suck!
Any help is appreciated!
