As I did not look at that area of the code deeply enough, I can't really
comment. If this is intentional, then we should at least print an error message
in the net command that the account has to be deleted before joining. Not
giving an error message at all is a bit confusing, it makes the administrator
believe the join succeeded when it did not.
