Someone correct me if I'm wrong,  but from what I've seen on the list for
a while says that NT can have a UID and GID that match, right?  Is this on
the numerical side of things or the textual name?

If its on the name side of things, why can't there be a feature call
"group name mangling"   that would change the text name of the group for
the NT machine i.e. changing the group "user" to "g_user". Wouldn't that
solve the problem of groups that have the same name as users?? (i.e.
redhat systems that be default create uids and gids that match?)
