Hi,

is there any difference (or a linkage) between unix users/groups and 
users/groups in your Yast module? I did not catch anything from your 
screenshots, so now it seems to me you spent much time on duplicating of 
existing functionality (well, with slightly better UI ;-)). I have read the 
wiki [1], but it seems that you take care just about user/groups managing.
