Ok found a way. :)

Copied the /etc/shadow from the old server.

Created a script that check each line and do a comparison between both 
the new and old shadow.

If the password is different for a user, it just runs usermod -p with 
the password used on the original /etc/shadow.

Every user can now login to the necessary server services now without 
complaining about password changes/mismatch.

They probably wont be able to enter the blueOnyx GUI (they dont do it 
anyway.. only the admins do, and those admin passwords havent changed 
for sure)

Could run cceclient here and change the GUI password maybe?

Resetting the passwords through the GUI will make everything perfect 
again anyway. Thats something the admins will do eventually...

I just didnt want X/4500 users calling because their outlook cant 
connect to the new server...

Cheers!
