Subject: Duplicate gids merged
If /etc/group has two group names with duplicate gids, then the members are merged together. This is inconsistent with the approach in PasswdFile where if two users have the same uid, then there are two different entries. I think an error should be raised or both groups should be in the $grp->group($name) list so that a check can be done at the user level.
