[rt-users] RT2 database cleanup before rt2->rt3 migration

[brianBOFH]

RT guru's:

I would like to clean up my RT2 instance in perparation for migration
to RT3.  What is the best way to accomplish this?  My biggest concern
is the Users table.  We have an enormous amount of "SPAM" users and
only about 120 privileged users.  There is also a large amount of dead
Tickets.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian
