I'd like to have winbind supply the username and the UID in the case
that
the user doesn't exist in the YP map. (As I'd expect from the semantic
of
anything implemented with NSS).

Okey doke. I just looked at the code and saw that it was there. Is there
a
place I can hope to find a list of those known flaws?

I guess that's one of the known flaws thing, because 
getent passwd <username> works perfectly. Oh well. Any chance of this 
matter being taken care of in 2.2?

Thanks a lot!
