We are moving to a new installation of Scalix 11.4.2 on CentOS. The old server is 11.4.1 on OpenSuse 10.2.
We *just* want to move the usernames and passwords. The /var/opt/scalix/XX directory (and subdirectories) obviously has errors in it regarding ownership and permissions. After trying to go through the directory file by file for the past few days (omcheck only finds gross errors; it's useless for this), we just want to start over. But it'd be nice not to have to reenter all users by hand, then figure out a way to inform them all that they have new temporary passwords, etc., etc.
I've done several searches here, and I know about omaddu, omshowu, and I've used omsearch -d userlist -t h -e s=* to generate a file containing bulk user info, including names and passwords (encrypted).
From searching here, it seems that the "approved" method is to transfer the entire mailstore. But as I said, our mailstore directory has errors, and we just don't have any more time to look for the granular permission/ownership errors that are still in there. Fortunately, we CAN extract the user info. That part is apparently OK.
We have approximately 400 users. Is there any way to automate this process? Or do I have to run omaddu/ommodu for each one, one at a time? If someone can just give me an overview of the commands, I'll write a shell script or something like it to handle the grunt work.
