I've really no time in this day to watch to the forum, so there's no
problem at all... O;-)))

I've understood why, and i've clear that there's a lot of historical
reason (SGBD what mean?!), i simply note (and i've log it on savannah a
year or so) that if someone have to integrate phpgw on an preexistent
LDAP setup, converted from a unix setup, having only one number-space
within users and groups is really strict.
I've started playing with LDAP *and* phpgw, so for me is not a problem
to have an unique numberspace, but the problem remain...

Boh, i've used only grep and my minimal ldap/php knowledge, but i've
not found reference for these fields elsewhere...

Seems strange, yes... but i've tested two browser. ;(

Yeah! Cool!!! ;)))

Not 100%, but i've understood how the acl table works. So... yes, i
know i've to be carefull! ;)
