local user map troubles finally solved

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ok.

part of the issue is that you _cannot_ have a group and user name the same
in NT.  therefore you _must_ map all unix groups with same name as users
(and same name as other domains, as well) using the group or user map
functions.

this avoids the problem of int(guid)==int(uid).
