That's supposed to happen automatically but I wasn't certain if it
really works this way. I'll have another look at it - thanks for
checking !

Exactly - as written on thursday.

I think redirecting neither from nor to the old user pages is a good
idea because this is going to trouble us as soon as another person
starts using the same name (as the former Wiki login) for their LDAP
account - leading to name clashes in the Wiki.
Having an exact 1:1 mapping is the only viable solution in my eyes.
Cheers,
Martin.
