I think the challenge would be the shadow file. RedHat can be
configured to use the same general scheme as the AIX default,
but I don't think you can shuffle the encrypted passwords from
AIX to Linux. The /etc/passwd format itself should be identical.

Subject: [aix-l] [Q] how to migrate user account from AIX for LINUX?

We have AIX 4.3.3 on RS/6000. We plan to setup another application server
on DELL/Redhat AS 2.1 server. Does anyone know how to migrate user account
(ID/Password) from AIX to LINUX?

Thanks.
