RE: [cobalt-security] Migrating from a R4 to a R550, Any Security Concerns?

["Jason Hird" <jason.hird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have sucessfully migrated 30 domains and 800 users from a Raq4 to a 550
using the beta, and have not encountered a major problem other than the
points below:

	it doesn't like usernames that start with a number
	it doesn't like domains that start with a number
	it sometimes hangs during the import (you have to kill it, remove the site
it was restoring and then re-import, but it eventually get's there)
	it doesn't merge sites well, if you have a partial import (that didn't work
at all when I tried it)
	it doesn't like exporting single sites very much.

However, if you do a whole server export and then import the bits you need
it's fine apart from the occasional hang (might simply be because of the
large number of users I was dealing with)

You can get round the numeric domain issue if you do a full server export
followed by a full server import and then just delete the domains you don't
need from the target server.

Subject: [cobalt-security] Migrating from a R4 to a R550, Any Security
Concerns?


I was wondering if anyone had run across any sec. concerns migrating
from a RaQ4 to a RaQ 550, incorrect privs, wrong group assignments etc.


With the CMU for the 550 being in beta,  I am concerned about the
stability and security implications, before I go ahead and move an
existing client over.


Any success/fail reports would be appreciated from those who have
already tried.

Thanks
