Why can't we just implement what microsoft uses?  Why should we need to
'detect' that a user is on the terminal server, and how do you consider
the implications of managing these users *from* a terminal server?  (the
normal profile path would not be displayed).  

Finally, making decisions based on the current user, remote machine etc
inside passdb makes it really badly behaved - just because a global
variable is there, doesn't mean we should use it...
