No, they don't need to be the same.

No, they don't need to be the same either.

By the way, have you re-run pwd2pdb and pcfgen after modifying
user.coda and group.coda.  And don't confuse user.coda from
passwd.coda, there were some name conflicts and the manual
maybe a bit confusing ...  as I said in one of my previous post (note).

The following are my log of my Coda server installation:

[root_at_xylophone db]# vi user.coda

[clement_at_xylophone db]$ cat user.coda
admin::500::Administrator::
clement::6822::LEE, Yui-wah (Clement)::

[root_at_xylophone db]# vi group.coda

[clement_at_xylophone db]$ cat group.coda
System:Administrators   -204    admin

[root_at_xylophone db]# pwd2pdb -u user.coda -g group.coda > vice.pdb
2 user entries found

[root_at_xylophone db]# pcfgen vice.pdb

(I was a bit surprise that I don't need to run initpw, as suggested by
the manual.  I believe that it was because initpw has already been done
by the vice-setup scripts.)

Hope this help !
