adding a unix user to a winbind group should be ok.  but
not the other way around (by design).  wbinfo will only
manipulate winbind local account entries in the
winbindd_idmap.tdb.

btw...i think unless there is a lot of pressure not to,
this option will go away soon.  No one uses it.

Yeah.  I've got these on my list.  Do you need these fixewd
or did they just come up during testing?


cheers, jerry
