Hmm....not sure I'm initially as supportive of that idea.  But I'll
think on it and maybe convince myself differently.

Why can't they run winbindd?  Internally smbd has a sid/uid/gid
cache.  Maybe that should be in gencache.  But I'd like to keep
Winbindd's idmap cache separate.

PS: I do believe that Winbind's idmap cache needs to be cleaned
up.  For example, caching the forward and reverse map entries
should be in a single transaction.
