You have to do this:
1)Copy the passwd and group files to the second server ( first backup your files)


2) The you have to create manually each directory, but you can use the passwd file to do a little script to make all directorys with this scripts automatically. Have you ever have done any scripts??

Another solutions is to share with NFS the hard disk of your firts server, make a link for the passwd and group of second machine pointing to the firts machine. You will also need to share the home directory of users, but in this solutions you will lost some disk space.
Hope it works..

mkpwdict

mkpwdict(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      mkpwdict(1M)

NAME

       mkpwdict - maintain password-strength checking database

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN]
	    [-d destination-path]

DESCRIPTION

       The mkpwdict command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used by pam_authtok_check(5) and passwd(1).

       Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified on the command-line using the -s flag. These source files should have a
       single word per line, much like /usr/share/lib/dict/words.

       If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).

       The database is created in the directory specified by the -d option. If this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses  the  value  of  DICTIONDBDIR
       specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)). The default location is /var/passwd.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -s    Specifies a comma-separated list of files containing words to be added to the dictionary-lookup database.

       -d    Specifies the target location of the dictionary-database.

FILES

       /etc/default/passwd    See passwd(1).

       /var/passwd	      default destination directory

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
