Yeah.  The user/group enumeration is a tricky issue.
For now, I think we can get by.  There's just some obvious
room for improvement when we move it over to an async model.
Just wanted to check with you on the cache semantics change.

Is the groupmember enumeration in trunk finished?  As soon
as 3.0.20 ships, I'm going to pull it back and start
hammering on winbindd again.
