Only for the actual domain logon, and only if the client contacts
netlogon.  If a user logs into a member server, we should update that
time too.

As to utmp - the code is there because we need the 'logoff' record too,
and this is the only place we get that.  Also, utmp is a 'unix' thing we
can't push back to the DC - while this is.
