[Samba] [Workaround] Strange problem with pdbedit -Lv : missing users ?

[Denis BUCHER]

Dear all, 

This problem is not solved but just to keep you informed I found some
kind of work-around: 

If I do : 

# pdbedit -Lv | grep pmisth 

(Nothing is shown, user is missing from pdbedit ???) 

But I can do this, if I know the user exists: 

# pdbedit -Lv -u pmisth | grep Unix
Unix username: pmisth 

Therefore it doesn't solve the problem, but it is enough for me, as what
I need is this: 

# pdbedit -Lv -u pmisth | grep "User SID"
User SID: S-1-5-21-4267546850-1930090071-418296841-3302
