My wife and I will be getting a new FP iMac whenever Apple gets off its butt and actually ships it. I intend to give my old iMac to my mother. In the meantime, I am wondering if anyone knows how to migrate my existing user accounts to the new machine, while preserving file perms, etc.

I have a 4-port ethernet dsl router, if that makes any difference.
