login incorrect - sharing /home in rhl and deb

["Suraj.co.in" <sesha_sai_iyengar@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi   :-(

  I run debian 2.2 :-)  and RHL 6.2  :-( with shadow passwds in both.

  I thought it would be a great way of saving disk space if /tmp and
/home are shared. :-s After installing rhl 6.2 I changed the fstab and
copied the passwd, shadow, groups from debian's /etc to rhl's /etc( yup,
replaced the ones in rhl) . Now started the problem!  :-(

  I'm not able to log into my debian A/C, but I'm able to do so from
rhl. :-)

  I get a login incorrect message for all other users (except root) in
deb. This happens even for the (just created) new accounts from deb
itself. What is the fix?

  Pls help!  :-(
