All the prior answers now work well.

Now to change the topic on the same thread.  (I changed the title
to reflect the difference.)

I've noticed that for a certain group I have the following:
  valid users = MANAGER.SYS, XYZ.SYS

Yet in my user.map file I also have the following:
manager.sys = myself
xyz.sys = other

Question 1:
Which takes precedence?

Question 2:
Or do these overlap at all?

Question 3 corrollary:
Or do they conflict?

The other insidious thing in I noticed in WinDoze is
when you're prompted for a password there's that
little check box to save it, (it goes into your
.pwl file.)  So if you change your password on the
host, the user has to delete his .pwl file and
build a new one.  (Or make sure he never has the
box checked, if he misses unchecking it once ....
same story.)

Question 4:
Is this a bad thing?
