Yes, but I'd like to keep the minimal user configurations in /etc/passwd to 
allow system maintenance (root and a few local users). All the users related to 
the microsoft network will reside on ldap.
Do you think that having all that users and machines in that directive can be 
problematic ?

Thanks,
Rccardo
