The recommended procedures are to either upgrade the old server to 1.8e,
then migrate everything or migrate everything as-is now and then upgrade to
1.8e on the new server.  In either case, when you move all the related
files (SIGNUP.FILEn) you will move all the passwords.

There is a paper on this available from  [log in to unmask]
