Yes, I know. And I meant it this way. I only assumed that under Unix
we have a one-to-one mapping between username and numeric uid.

We need a STRUCTURAL object to attach to. Should we make the
sambaGroupMapping structural? This would make it stand-alone, but we
could then not tie it to a posixGroup. If we make it AUXILIARY, we
need another STRUCTURAL object to attach to. Which one?
