Correct, but this is different that the original non-unix 
account stuff that previously existed.  In the old code, 
getpwnam() could fail and smbd would be ok with that.

I'm planning on writing a white paper next week to clear 
up some of the confusion with LDAP configurations and also 
about winbindd's new functionality.
