jeremy doesn't agree with it.  he doesn't want samba using SURS mapping
_at all_.  he thinks that if you put SURS mapping into winbind, pam_ntdom
and pam_smb and all other unix-compliant, nt-domain-compatible  systems
_except_ samba that you can somehow magically make samba nt-domain-aware.

actaully, that';s not true.  he doesn't want samba to be made "complex" by
mapping unix to more than one NT domain.  therefore, such things should
not be considered, and hacks and work-arounds considered instead.
