I added person "peter" and account "peter.staff.none" and then did a synch in edrgy to update the local registry. After that, I deleted those new person and account objects and ran synch again, upon which it complained that the old account is "marked for no login" or something like that....upon doing edrgy -l, I noticed that the old deleted registry objects remained in the local registry with GID and UID both -1. Is this normal?? How can i totally delete these old objects? What does -1 mean??

Thanks, Jim. Thats why I thought....I guess I was a little confused about UID/GID 65534 vs. -1. Yeah, the other question was the main question, but I will figure it out. I might have a corrupt registry per somethign that was stated about rgyd in the Apollo FAQ...
