Checklist of files to move to new server/box (passwd, shadow, hosts, cron files, *.conf...)

Hi

We're planning to migrate to another hardware T5120
so we're coming up with a list of files that should be
copied over to the new box. Is there a checklist that
lists files/configurations that need to be moved across?

Offhand, I can only think of :

a) files in /etc like passwd, group, shadow, hosts, hostname.*,
defaultrouter
    resolv.conf (for DNS)

b) what's the filename/directory which hold the cron table
    for the various users (oracle, root, ...)? If I can copy them
    over, that will be faster (rather than using root to "su - user"
    & individually recreating their crontabs)

c) .profile of root, oracle, ...

d) most of the /etc/*.conf files are not touched, so we'll just use
    what's given in the new server after Solaris 10 installation

e) /etc/init.d/* startup/shutdown scripts & their links in /etc/rcX.d

Anything else?

Thanks
U
