After sending this mail I noticed that there isn't even a local group named
None in the list of groups under the User Manager.  At anyrate the gid of the
local group None shouldn't be the same as the gid for the global domain group
Domain Users.

Also, if mkgroup -l should return the local group "None" then mkpasswd -g
should also and it doesn't.  BTW, I didn't look at Corinna's patch just
commenting on her statement.
