... there isn't a flag in those functions to make such a request.

creating a new function, LsaLookupUnixIds / LsaLookupUnixNames is better.

... however, this is getting down an avenue where you really don't want to
explore.  the whole point of using a unified "domain" model - SIDs - is
that it's unified!
