Subject: [PATCH 46/46] SYSDB: Better debugging for email conflicts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add DEBUG message when conflicts in FQ names or emails
are detected.
Also improve man page to hint on how to work around issue
with conflicting emails.
Note: We store emails in two different attributes in sysdb:
- SYSDB_USER_EMAIL
- SYSDB_NAME_ALIAS - this one is lowercased and used in getpwnam
searches.
Resolves:
