Creating template for accounts causes problem...

Managers,

        I was using XIsso and XSysAdmin to create a user template by
selecting an already created template and then changing the template
name and group and saving it. What it did this time, was create an
entry in the passwd file with the group of 0. Therefore, all places where
root used to be the owner, now my template is the owner. And, when I
su to root, and do whoami, it tells me I am the new template --> not root.

        I removed the user, then recreated it and it did the same thing.
But, oddly this is the same method I used to create all the other templates,
and they worked fine.

        Any suggestions? Bugs known?
