I do't think this is a bogus list. Remember these are
the users that you can use to set security on files,
so these users are correct.

If you want a list of users from the NT domain, change
the "domain" entry in the list to the domain name, not
the Samba server name.

This is how NT works I think (more when I have time to
check).
