I see,

Do you know if the created userid has a function?
I mean when I create a usergroup, which isn't a users primary group, would
it be nescessary to have a (disabled) user with exactly the same name as the
group?

I'm working to have my SME server authenticate linux workstations through
LDAP. When I create a user group in LDAP, should the corresponding userid
also be created?
