[jcifs] Translating SIDs

[rob]

Sounds great, for now I see a kludge that's just crazy enough... it might
work!

The value in the following registry key has username:

HKU:[SID]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Logon User Name

-- You can do it with Jarapac/JCIFS/MIDLC but it's all very 
-- round-about, it's not packaged nicely, and lacks a 
-- user-friendly API. You really have to know about MSRPC, IDL, 
-- named pipes, endpoints, etc (although the examples are 
-- pretty easy to run).
-- 
-- JCIFS 1.0 is all about files and directories. JCIFS 2.0 will 
-- be all about integrating Java subject based security with MS 
-- Windows and Kerberos.
-- Things like resolving SIDs will be trivial (you won't even 
-- realize you're doing it).
