4.0 KNOWN PROBLEMS AND WORKAROUNDS

This section contains information about known problems
and workarounds.

4.1 Launching applications after a migration

You might encounter difficulties launching an application when
the following circumstances apply:

o Applications are installed on the target system by a systems
  administrator using an operating-system account with 
  administrative privileges.
o You then log in to the target system using a regular
  operating-system account and migrate a profile that
  includes application settings.

To avoid any difficulty, be sure that each application has
previously been launched before you migrate a profile that
includes application settings.

4.2 SOCKs and peer-to-peer migration

If SOCKS is enabled on either the source or target system, it
might interfere with a peer-to-peer migration. Disable SOCKS
before beginning a peer-to-peer migration.
