This was part of the 'ldap trust ids' thing (ie, part of the reason I
added it in the first place). I wasn't aware that the getpwnam() had
crept back in there...
Anyway, we seem to have lost the ability to sub in the correct domain
(%D) (which could be different to the domain of the user currently
connected by SMB), and the loss of %u seems gratuitous. (previously it
just mirrored %U, and we have the info still, so why kill it?)
I agree with removing calls to getpwnam() here - they really kill
performance, and break abstractions, but at the very least why not
simply remove the extra uid/gid arguments, and make alloc_sub_specified
work the same as alloc_sub_basic (ie, they call getpwnam() if they want
it, for %g and %G).
