With a test infrastructure for winbindd, this one will be easy
to test (ensure name UU exists, setlocale(XX), check getpwnam
correctly queries for the unxi charset version of UU).

As for security issues, the same way we do for all of Samba,
write the best code we can, test it and respond to reviews.
There are no magic bullets for security.
