The problem is not /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, the problem is the password
encryption in use.
An entry which looks like $1$...$..... is an MD5 encrypted password. I don't
know if RedHat supports these.
If it doesn't contain any $'s then it's probably a regular Unix crypt()
password and you should just be able to copy it across.
You can use Perl or awk to reformat the different "columns" separated by the
':' separator to match whatever you need on the RedHat box.
Regards,
Brian.
