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.
