Seems to 'hacky', right. Also, i've currently 'three way' to auth, but none
works in a multidomain/forest environment (or, at least, i've not managed to
make it work):

1) winbind: work as expected, but complex membership get evaluated only on
 post login, so the 'chiken and egg' trouble.

2) kerberos: i've not managed to make it work in a multidomain/forest;
 there's no group mambership.

3) pure LDAP: i've not tried it, but probably with the correct config i can
 obtain all what i need (UPN login; group membership), but it is a bit hard
to setup, and Rowland and Lous says «don't use LDAP, use Kerberos» now and
then. ;-)
