I'll delete that user and start again. About UIDs, though. The user 'groupware' is not a user in the normal sense of the word. It is a part of dimap functionality, in my case handled by dovecot. There will never be a login, unless I have to do it as part of the setup, then switch off logins. Is it best to allocate a UID above or below 500? This may be obvious to you, but its a new ballgame to me :-) Anne
