Bolke de Bruin updated RANGER-827:
----------------------------------
Description:
The unix user sync currently reads /etc/passwd /etc/groups . This is often not
a reflection of users and groups available on a system especially when nsswitch
is configured (eg. sssd, ldap etc).
Secondly in some cases groups will contain user names that are not returned
with "getent passwd", especially "external users" and it is required to add
these using the group information.
