------- Comment #1 From Fabian Groffen 2005-09-22 10:21:42 0000 ------- 
Indeed, sorry.  Forgot to tell enewuser which group the new user should belong
to.

Should show up in a next sync within a few hours.  Please reopen if the bug
persists.  I wasn't able to reproduce the problem myself after my fix.
