* Mac: Fix serious bugs in Mac_SA_Insecure.sh and Mac_SA_Secure.sh scripts when run under OS 10.3.x. They sometimes created bad users and groups with IDs that were duplicates of other users and groups. They ran correctly under OS 10.4.x. Users who ran an older version of either script under OS 10.3.x should first run the current version of Mac_SA_Insecure.sh to delete the bad entries and then run Mac_SA_Secure.sh to create new good entries.
