yes, same UID/GID because they are infact the same user.
What I was hoping to do was to either tell dovecot they are infact the
same or mask one of them so dovecot ignored one.  I guess that's not
possible?

I am trying to keep things simple.  I would rather drop support for
the system /etc/passwd file and move every user into the dovecot users
file before moving to ldap.  My setup would not warrent that.

Dave McGuire had a similar idea of using an SQL stored proc which also
probably would have worked but just too complicated for what i'm doing.
