Attempting to log in through Squirrelmail.

This entry appears nowhere else in the log.

montreal# id steve
uid=268(steve) gid=15(users) groups=15(users), 626(moodleCreators),
80(www), 98(ident), 28(saweb), 303(helpdeskweb), 53(bind), 86(cgi),
206(oacmail), 70(shakes), 43(xfs), 83(acweb), 10(wheel), 208(nasa),
54(lock), 244(helpdeskadmin)
montreal# id chandler
uid=119833(chandler) gid=15(users) groups=15(users)

We did have the problem of his low UID causing trouble, but I've
temporarily changed the Lowest UID setting in dovecot.conf until we can
get about 200 users moved.

Any suggestions?
