Thanks for the response Arthur!

The user did already exist prior to this install. When I cleared things out and uninstalled the previous package, I neglected to remove the old user.

I am using krb5+ldap in my authentication scheme intentionally. While LDAP holds the account details, SSL is not currently supported on the server side (which I have no control over). So instead of sending passwords in the clear, I use Kerberos to authenticate the user, and use LDAP to pull the account details (UID, GID, Groups, etc.).

I am also looking at using SSSD to accomplish this task.

Thanks!
