Please cool down. There is no need to get heated over this. I saw
your bug report and it will be acted on. I have been away for the past 10
days and have not had internet access. The entire team is flat out trying
to get samba-3 ready for release. All bugs will be looked at before
shipping.

It is broken so we will fix it.

You assume too much. Your bug report puts this into a category where
someone has to make a decision. It would help if you had attached your
smb.conf file and a log file extract that shows the exact message. There
are a number of pathes into the code that deletes a user and the log file
extract makes clear what is going on.

Between alpha21 and rc1 a huge part of the user idmapping code has
changed. We could very well have broken things. There were several
unintended code reversion. These are all being fixed. So please be
patient.

It's in the queue now. You will get feedback.
