As Andrew pointed out correctly, this is broken for
multi-domain scenarios. What is your take on this? You will
get conflicting user names, "Administrator" is not uniqe
across domains. If "getent passwd 1000" and "getent passwd
100000" both give back "Administrator" instead of
"DOMA\Administrator" and "DOMB\Administrator", I would guess
this will lead to problems. Do you have plans to take care
of this somehow? "winbind use default domain" is also
toublesome for us, because there are potential conflicts
with /etc/passwd users.
