Having scoured the internet some more, I've found a couple more sources that 
confirm the idmapping works when Kerberos security is enabled.. and that it 
doesn't work properly without it.
The fact that the usernames are still converted correctly in listing, just not 
access control, still makes it look a lot like a bug rather than a feature 
though. (I mean, the results from "ls" should really match the access control, 
otherwise it's very confusing!)

In the meantime, I'll look into setting up Kerberos, but I'm pretty
certain it will be a no-go here -- too much effort for what appears to
be too little gain. (We already have a single-sign-on system in place)


cheers,
Toby
