Copy Users?

Is there anyway to transfer the pg_user/pg_shadow data from one to database

pg_dumpall has a switch to just dump the user/group info, and not the
databases. Seems like that will do what you want.

I am not able to use pg_dumpall, the system has crashed and I only have read
access to the harddrives. I was hoping there would be a couple of files I
could copy over to the new database and get the users back<?>.

Thanks,
