I'vegot the same problem with 2.0.5a on SuSE 6.1 with NTSP5. It showed
up
during migration to these three, before it worked.

This is normal. The functionality is not implemented.

If i add a domain user to a local group, the box with the domain users
knows the names. As soon as they are added, they are unknown. They are
still different users and can logon, but it seems their names are
locally
unknown. The nasty thing is, that the unknown users don't have the full
rights they should have. They are for example not able to change the
Desktop background, although they can read and write files in their
profiles directory.

Whats happening here? Any hints?
