I've been using .dis files in UCX for a long time, and I must have had a
reason for going to the trouble of expressing local usernames in this way.
I wonder if it was necessary to preserve headers or work around another
problem in an old UCX version.

Has anyone had problems with preserving headers correctly in current UCX
versions if just an unqualified username is present in the .dis file ?

Simon.
