True.  I would be easy.  but I don't think that it was ever
intended to.  The only read need for winbindd to look at passdb
that I can think of is the local group expansion and name/sid/uid
resolution.  I don't think enumerating users/groups should be
encouraged.

That said, there might be some future uses for it, but I would
rather wait until we have a specific use for the functionality
before adding it.
