Sorry for not mentioning it, I quickly checked on two different
machines, but both were using the neuro.debian repos...

Yes, it has  UID > 1000 as suggested by pam_ldap. Why should the
condor user be a "system" user? for one, it requires a valid email
address if you want email sent by condor not being tagged as SPAM by
overzealous SPAM filters. And if you use LDAP for authentication you
typically use it for email too, so the condor user naturally fits as
a non-system LDAP user. Couldn't this check be lifted altogether, or
at least give the possibility to set UID and GID of the condor user
on installation? 

Thank you for your quick reply!
