see fossilcons(8).  here's an extract:

          ... The user table records a mapping
          between uids and unames, as well as recording the leader and
          members of each group.  A uid is a string naming a user or
          group and stored in the on-disk data structures.  A uname is
          the string naming a user or group and used in 9P protocol
          messages.  There is a distinction so that unames can be
          safely reused, even though uids cannot.  ...

Hello,
I have a question on /adm/users of fossil.
It seems that the first field of /adm/users of fossil is same as the
second field.
I don't know whether it must be same or not.
If it must be same, why did you make the format so redundant?
If it must not be same, what is the intent of usage?

Kenji Arisawa
