So... I decided to try it, and it seems like it doesn't work, at
least on my system. I get the usernames, but the passwords are
shot. I suspect that this is because I'm going from a G5 Mac to an
Intel Mac, and there is a difference in bit order, which trashes the
blobs.
Any thoughts on how to migrate users without having to ask them to
all reset their passwords. I suppose that not being able to do this
is a good thing, in terms of security.

I think this has been asked before but I can't
seem to find the
answer. I have a bunch of wikis on two different servers. I want
users of wiki A to get the same usernames, passwords, etc on wiki B,
in addition to having users who are only on wiki B. Can I just do an
sql dump from the user table of wiki A and import the data into the
user table of wiki B? I mean, I know I can do it, but will it have
the desired effect?
