Right, and ditto for exim config and postinstall
How much time do I have?
Now cron-config checks if a username appears multiple times in passwd.
Typically one instance is a domain id and the other one is a local id.
That causes havoc with cron
It happens fairly frequently; there was even such a "bug report" recently.
How does getent handle that case? Is it detectable from a config file?
