You're right, I am going to report this to the eGroupware developers,
but it could be weeks or months to get a patch to fix the problem, but
for now, even if I have to use an unorthodox solution like exporting the
users as an LDIF and then changing the RID, then re-importing them,
thats still faster than the alternative. Please, actually answer my
question to fix the RID, somehow, some way.
