The issue for me is that the SQL auth backend does not create user accounts in /etc/passwd only creating numerical uid & gid assigning these to the relevant directories it creates. So nss can not pick them up. The other issue that I raised was the conflicts between unix account names and domain accounts. Were there is a local unix account with the same name as a domain account the force user attribute will force the domain user account of the same name. There are workarounds, but I think the ability to force a uid & gid would be a useful feature.
