the useradd scripts are part of your *nix distribution. I never had
problems with this because I used LDAP and thus the useradd scripts
weren't part of the equation at all.

If you need to modify the useradd/groupadd scripts used by your
distribution, you might want to ask your distribution for suggestions on
modification.

You might want to add the groups yourself first by creating the posix
groups, and group mapping them to the appropriate Windows name with
spaces but that does defeat some of the vampire simplifications.
