That relies on winbind though right?

$ sudo wbinfo -t
could not obtain winbind interface details!
could not obtain winbind domain name!
checking the trust secret for domain (null) via RPC calls failed
Could not check secret

This box I'm testing on is currently joined.

'net ads testjoin' should really just do what it does today but HONOR the
'-U username%password' command line convention. Why is that wrong?
