if my memory serves well (I haven't used nisgina for a very long time),
the problem is the GINA layer a)is only useful for interactive logon,
b)has access only to the local account database. So the accounts are
created under the machine's sid.


what's really needed is the internal api to the sam database, or the
functions called by the lsa.
