If you want to answer, please do it on the list. I'm not interested in
a private discussion.

There seems to be a widespread misconception, that there is only ever
one isolated machine that does local user management. I think it is
quite common in a network, to have users in LDAP or some other central
database. If I install a machine in such an environment, it has to
take whatever LDAP provides. I'm not going to change the whole user
management, just for a newly installed Debian machine.

I can not but yield to your conclusive argumentation and will from now
on be quiet on this matter. In any case, I think I have presented all
my arguments.
