Details:

Hi in this bit of code, jailkit does not honour users that are from the same
user and group id. The same user id is required for users to access a web
document root and have the same permissions, setup from within a control panel
software.

Can the check here also do a string comparison against the group ?

if ((strcmp(pw->pw_name, oldpw_name)!=0) && (strcmp(gr->gr_name,
oldgr_name)!=0)) {
  390                   syslog(LOG_ERR, "abort, username %s differs from jail 
username %s
for user ID %d, check /etc/passwd and %s/etc/passwd", oldpw_name, pw->pw_name,
getuid(), jaildir);
  391                   exit(37);
  392           }
  393           

How about this ?  Or add a config option to disable this check. It's a pretty
crazy one.
