This is a known deficiency right now, and I'm not 100% sure that we can fix it properly in the short term. Windows internally will never look at something like /etc/passwd and /etc/group for normal operations. Unix programs regularly do, and we can't really get all the info to also fill in /etc/passwd and /etc/group for the trusted domains. What I'd like to ask you is to file a bug in bugzilla.samba.org. This way it pops up regularly when I look over it, but I can't promise any deadline at all. I would just not like to lose this reminder :-) Volker
