Situation
Can't start GroupWise agent. Trying to run the agent in show mode
results in “Running the agent with conflicting effective users”
error message.
Resolution
Remove the “uid.run” file from the problem agent directory. You can
now start the agent as expected.
Cause
The agent was trying to start as a user that is different from the
user the Agent was configured to run as. The user specified in the
uid.conf file does not match the user specified in the uid.run
file.
