(funny?)

well, I hope someone from sun is listening/reading, because we got serious trouble 
with CMU (cobalt migration utility) and there is no contact (email) given in the whole 
doku or elsewhere related to CMU.

basic problem: users with a "." in their name never get migrated correctly (especially 
accessrights on the /var/spool/mail-files are wrong) and we even experience whole 
users not getting imported without further notice by CMU.

I guess we are not alone with this and guess what, o'coz our user-naming-schemes are 
based on "shortcut" + "." + "username" to make the whole thing more readable...

sidestep: everyone who relays on CMU to do backups of userdata (because we finally all 
realized standard backup doesn't enable you to restore userdata like userids, 
virtual-site-structures, passwords, etc.) might be doing their backups with flaws, 
when "day zero" comes and you would like to get online asap locking none of your users 
out...

thank you in advance
