I think that you are using the 'ad' idmap backend, but I am not sure 
what on, a DC ?

What I am trying to get across is, there is no reason to have two users 
with the same name, one in /etc/passwd and one in AD. the one in 
/etc/passwd is unknown to AD, but the one in AD can very easily become a 
Unix user.
