MS  Windows  clients   update  these  fields  themselves  dynamically,
presumably at startup,  so doing so during winbindd's  startup code is
better.

We also use minimal rights to join to existing computer accounts, and
would prefer it if these attributes were updated using the computer
account, rather than the user account used to join the domain.
