We recently got into trouble because we had two "nobody" users which had different primary groups, this broke mailman. The second nobody was added by smbldap-tools. So I guess having duplicate, unconsistent users is a bad idea, altough having identical users shouldn't be a problem, if you keep them updated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
