Since this sort of fix almost seems unavoidably neccessary (_tons_
of existing installations use identical user and group names),
it would be nice to have a way of fixing this at the NT<->unix
name mapping level.  Sure, we can write scripts to mass change
group names, but then you've got dozens of different OSes to
write them for.

A mass map mechanism could be a relatively easy way of accomodating
this without redesigning the NT user/group namespace or requiring
new Samba installations to do mass group name changes.
