At one point, it was my view that we should map this to 'root' (uid==0)
by force.  I was told that we should use 'admin users' for that, and
that's how we got here.  To my mind, the correct solution is to require
a passdb entry for root (like we do for nobody), and to likewise make
the forced mapping in pdb_smbpasswd.
