Issue Summary

I had some issues with this.
I'm importing everything from xoops 2.0.15 to drupal 5.x
First its a little tricky with it being in a different language, however I got around that. What ended up happening is that it really screwed up my database and now with new users signing up it overwrites the imported ones because it did not change the keyfield uid.. I have yet to find where this updates, and why it isn't auto increment...

Any thoughts?

What was the problem with the language?

Regarding the user IDs,

Drupal is not using auto increments, it uses the sequences table to keep track of IDs. The user import is setting the proper value in this sequences table when it finishes importing the users, it outputs a message like "Updating last id: 123". The sequences table is not updated only if the user import does not finish for some reason, an error or if the request times out.

Did you see errors during user import? Did the request time out?

Also, you are supposed to import users into a blank database, that only has 1 user (the admin). Was this your case?
