HELP!!!!!!

I am about to decommission an old Redhat 3.03 dial in server and replace 
it with a new redhat 4.2 server, but I have a huuuge problem.

	I can't get the new server to recognise the old passwd file.

	What I have done is copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/group from the 
old machine to the new machine, I also copied the old /bin/login command 
from the old machine so I could bypass the PAM stuff for now.

	There is no shadow suite involved, it just won't accept the users 
logins.

	HELP PLEASE!!!!
