I'm not sure if this has been addressed previously, but perhaps the reason
why we're seeing so many users performing incorrect temperature coupling of
ions is because that is how it is done in the very popular fwspider
tutorial. In fact this tutorial is the first hit on google for "gromacs
tutorial."

; Berendsen temperature coupling is on in three groups
Tcoupl              =  berendsen
tau_t               =  0.1          0.1  0.1
tc_grps             =  protein      sol  CL­
ref_t               =  300          300  300

Hopefully this is useful, my apologies if I'm not understanding the issue
correctly.

I don't know if it's germane to your problem, but this is about the
tenth time this month that someone has reported an .mdp file with groups
of ions coupled independently to thermal baths. This is a Bad Idea, and
means that even if everything else is working correctly, your simulation
isn't as close to accurate as you would want. Search the mailing list
for reasons why.
