Pre-Version 10 Shadow Files migration

Hi all,
Anyone know whether its possible to use the shadow file encrypted passwords from and Version 9 and 6 system, and import into the Solaris 10 Environment ??
Have a requirement to migrate 300 users from a version 6 system and 150 users from an version 9 system. And dont want to have to manually create all the user accounts and passwords from scratch.
I have previously copied the passwd and shadow contents onto other systems to speed it up. But am concerned version 10 may be using a different encryption method on the password hashing.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Check:
/etc/security/policy.conf CRYPT_DEFAULT does not need to be the same (you can import a crypt shadow file on a system configured for md5, it will simply use md5 on next password change) but CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW must include the algorithms used on source machine. (you cannot import md5 passwords into a machine not allowing them).
Otherwise, I don't see any other possible source of trouble.

Cannot open old Illustrator files (pre version 8) in CS4 trial

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading from Illustrator CS2 to CS4. However, I have downloaded the trial version and have found that Illustrator CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8 (pre 2000) whereas Illustrator CS2 had no problem with this. I do not want to resave my old files as there are way too many of them (hundreds!).
I am running Windows XP.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

Exactly what happens when you attempt to open one of these old files in AI 14 (CS4)? (If you get an error message, what does it say?)
Can you post a sample file up on a server or service and provide the link here? That way, others with AI 14 can test to see whether it's something peculiar to your installation.
Please also tell us exactly how you are attempting to open the files. (Double-clicking in Explorer? Using File | Open from within Illustrator? Dragging and dropping onto an AI 14 shortcut?)
>...CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8...
I find it very difficult to believe AI 14 can open version 8 but not version 7 files. There was no significant change in the native file format.

Migrating Linux shadow-file MD5 passwords to Sun DSEE for Solaris/SunMail

Hello all,
We are about to undertake migration of an outdated mail server based on RedHat 7.2 and Sendmail/ipop3d to Sun Messaging Server (JCS6u2). While the filesystem/mail are not a problem, we're stuck at the question of how to best migrate old users' identities.
The old Linux system used user names and password hashes stored in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. Hashes are mostly MD5 and a few seem like crypt.
Question is: are there known incompatibilities between password hashes (algorithms, expected format) in Linux and Sun products - Solaris/DSEE/SunMail?
That is, if we just take strings like these:
usemd5:$1$Wu7IqFT5$TeUht3OMdeSSBB3Vab4dB.:11262:0:::::134540116
usecrypt:DD2kEwCD8nies:10220::::::
Can we simply place the second column as the userPassword attribute in Sun DSEE and expect that users would be able to log in to LDAP-enabled Solaris and Sun Mail with their old passwords knownst only to them?
If not, is there some simple modification/translation of such hashes to a format accepted by Sun products?
Or are these formats/algorithms known to be incompatible somehow in a fatal manner, so our only option would be generation of new passwords for Sun DSEE and its clients?
Thanks,
//Jim

Just to reclarify or throw more information:
a password - cleartext value - testuser1 has 32-digit HEX value as - 41da76f0fc3ec62a6939e634bfb6a342
Same password when converted to Base64 pattern becomes - Qdp28Pw+xippOeY0v7ajQg==
But when I use pwdhash utility in DSE after configuring CRYPT to use MD5 hashes it becomes -
{crypt}$md5$$LiB/H70zXr3xfQPoXVuUQ1
I used below command :
pwdhash -D /opt/SUNWdsee/dsee6/ds6/slapd-oha-dev -s CRYPT testuser1
Actual hash value of pwdhash is -LiB/H70zXr3xfQPoXVuUQ1 with rest of the prefix is to meet RFC standard and salt and algo name separator.
I am wondering if Sun MD5 default uses any salt even when I haven't used or DS does it. Or if any other MD5 option is there which can be used.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro

I'm trying to load pre-2006 lso files into Logic 8 on my new intel Mac Pro, but they crash the app every time. files saved 2006 and later load OK. Anybody shed any light on this or know of a fix (other than the laborious work-around of re-saving all early lso's in logic 8 on the PPC and physically moving them via a portable drive to the new machine)?
(BTW, those files also crash the Logic 7 installed on the intel Mac.)

Upon further work with my migration, I find I was incorrect in the time frame assertion of these failed files: apparently, the creation/modification dates have nothing to do with it and the reality is that some files fail at random, while others load just fine. right now it looks to be about 50/50 Beats me why this is.
Anyway, for those interested, I've discovered a very helpful key to the quick processing of file data for a plethora of files (i. e. re-saving the "bad" lso files as Logic 8 projects on the older CPU and moving them over to my new machine), and that is the 'control key/launch' of the app. I hadn't realized that Apple had added this feature to Logic to enable easier work on multiple song files when one does not require the audio.
For those who don't know about it, the 'control key/launch' provides an option to disable the core audio at app start-up, thus allowing files to load instantly without loading the plug-in library files associated with tracks - great for copying MIDI data between song files, or in this case, re-saving a batch.
Still puzzled, though, as to why so many older lso files crash Logic when they attempt to load on my new CPU.

Moving shadow files to a new volume ???

Dear,
In an exsiting Volume (VOL1) which is shadowed, I copied a specific folder (Folder1) into a newly created Volume (VOL2).

So your source server is shadowed (well technically the source volume).
But the TARGET volume is not shadowed?
Basically there's a few ways you can do this, but they all have their downfalls:
1) Use a workstation with the Novell Client. It will see the source as a single volume and copy the data from both primary/shadow (since the NCP view sees them as "one") and paste them to the target. Obviously file rights aren't preserved, and neither are quotas, and it can be slow since it's routing through the workstation. But it will get the DATA over.
2) Use the miggui, but with caution. There ARE ways (not supported AFAIK). If you choose this route, I can send you some of the details via PM. It does pose a small risk in that, while you temporary expose both volumes on the Primary, (so miggui can see the data), if you make any trustee changes, it'll hose things. I think it also requires that your TARGET have a shadow setup. But my memory is old. It will get quotas/trustees, and is relatively quick. We did many migrations this way to new hardware without issue (just had to be VERY careful that nobody was changing file rights during the exposing of the volume temporarily).
3) Use your DST to shift everything BACK to the primary and then break (disable the DST/Shadow) and use miggui so that primary -> primary (ie, there's no shadowing on source or target). Obviously you need enough free disk space which you may not have. It will get quotas/trustees though.
Others may have other ideas, but this is what I could come up with.

Shadow files on a windows server

I have owned a new Mac Book Pro for several months and use it at home and at my office. Setting it up at the office was not problem including mapping the drives on the server and access to shared printers.
However, I am becoming a challenge to my coworkers. Every time I access a shared network drive and work on a document (MS Office for MAC) or save a document I have created, my Mac leaves shadow files on the drive in the folder I have been working. They show the icon of the Office program I am working in but they are greyed out and do not represent the last version of my document. That version is there just as it should be and everyone call use it but these annoying "shadow files" are there as well.
When I look at the folder I have been working in I can't see these files but my Windows co-workers can.
I have two questions:
1. How can I keep my Mac from leaving these "shaodw files" behind?
2. If there is now way I can keep them from being left on the server, is there a way I can view them and then delete them.
Thank you,
Rex

It won't do so by default, but if you click the light switch icon in the lower left of the EasyFind panel, a drawer will open with lists of file extensions to search. Just add the appropriate file extensions (wpd, wp [WordPerfect], wb3, wb2 [Quattro Pro], and db [Paradox]) to the list."

Versioning - what folder keeps old versions of files?

Hi!
Here's the thing - I have reinstalled the Mountain Lion and used Migration Assistant to restore my user profile from a clone of my previous installation. I got all my personal documents/photos/music/videos back, but lost all versioning info for each document.
I still have the clone of my previous installation on an external drive. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a manual way to restore old versions of files.
Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for the answers. I now see why the versions didn't copy together with the user profile - they reside on the root of the drive. D'oh! Wish I knew that before. Maybe then I could have carried that folder over as soon as I was done with the installation. I now have way too many new .pages documents and there is indeed no way I could merge the two DocumentRevisions-V100 folders at this point. Hopefully Apple fixes this in the future so that the versioning folder is kept within the user folder so that it can get transfered over with a new installation/machine.
Thanks again for the help guys!

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

How do I find and include pre-existing music files on my PC?

I'm new to iTunes and believe that I should be able to find and include pre-existing music files on my PC?
I've found out how to show the menu bar but I can't see how to do the above except file/folder by file/folder.

Hello there, LeighCenturion.
The following Knowledge Base article provides instruction on how to add content from your computer to iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473#2
Specifically:
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

$10 in rewards for pre-ordering Shadow of Mordor?

On 9/12/14, I pre-ordered Shadow of Mordor for PS4. I picked it up on release day and it's been four days and I haven't seen the points show up on my account. I understand that it takes up to 15 days for them to post but when I look up my pre-order I don't even have the 500 points pending. I pre-ordered Destiny with the same offer and that at least showed that the points are pending. Will the site update with "Victory is Pre-Ordered" listing? I just want to make sure that I get the points for the purchase.

Hi hollywoodhags.
I pulled up your account history using the email address you registered with the forum, and I do see that you pre-ordered Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor on BestBuy.com. It is common for bonus points to not appear as pending; however, they should officially post to your My Best Buy™ account within about 20 days if you qualify. Based on the "Get $10" offer details and from what I can see, your pre-order should qualify for the 500 bonus points.
With that all being said, if you do not see those bonus points post to your account within 20 days, then please send me a private message and I will see what I can do to help. You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button in my signature.
Enjoy your new game, and let us know if you have any other questions!

TS1963 Issues after file migration from PC

Hi, I'm new to Mac and I've just done a file migration of my photo's from my old PC (using migration assistant after I've been using the mac i.e. not at initial start-up) and I now can't find the files. Looking at previous similar issues on forums people seem to suggest that a new account will be set up and the photo's will be in there, however there is no new account when I look for it.
Can anyone help to steer me in the right direction?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
